Is there a Conflict of interest with attorneys and Special Needs Trust for my now deceased brother?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
I am sorry but I don't understand your question at all. If you are asking if the attorney who handled your mother's probate can handle your brother's probate, then the answer is probably yes. He or she set up the special needs trust to take care of your brother. Now that he is dead, the attorney just has to make sure that the trust proceeds get distributed properly. Actually, this is more a continuation of your mother's probate than probating your brother's estate. If that is the question, then I don't see a conflict of interest.

As a beneficiary, what can I do if the administrator of the estate did some fraud?

Answered by attorney Roger Durkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Durkin Law, PC
The administrator was required to file an accounting in probate court. Go there and get a copy of the accounting. If there was no will, go to the source of the $220k, was it a bank account? For $225k, you might seriously consider getting an attorney. Paul Sweeney of Boston is a reputable probate attorney
