Are the Executor and the Lawyer supposed to be the only persons that discuss the estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jonathan James Wade (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Wade Law Office
In general, other family members (at least ones who are heirs or beneficiaries) are entitled to receive information about the estate, and it is quite common for the executor and the executor's lawyer to provide information to other family members. The lawyer should be careful, however, not to make family members believe that they can rely on the lawyer's legal advice - if the lawyer is the executor's lawyer, at least in Georgia, the lawyer does not represent the heirs or beneficiaries and should advise them that they should consult their own attorneys if they have questions about their rights or interests other than general status updates or the provision of information regarding the estate or steps being taken with regard to it.

What is the difference between guardianship and conservatorship?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
Generally speaking, a conservatorship grants the authority to manage a person's financial affairs and a guardianship grants the authority to manage a person's day-to-day life activities and health care decisions.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
