Should adult children and their elderly parents have the same attorney or different attorneys?

Question

Is there potential for a conflict of interest in the settling of an estate having the same attorney or does it make the process less painful and more orderly?

Answer 1

Personally, to make certain there are no 'undue influence' issues later, I'd recommend the adult children have their own attorney.

Where money is involved, family can be a nightmare. Keep it clear who is representing whom.
