Seems like a conflict of interest. Mother an father have a trust. Daughter is moving away from close to parents. Younger brother moves in to help parents at same time. Sole cregiver. No help from sister. Can you help me out with the confusion with this issue.
My Elder Law attorney, who works for a large law firm, is the same attorney as my sig other's, and my parents recently hired the same attorney to draw up their Trust.
What would be the conflict of interest? What is the confusion?
When I took my parents to see the Elder Law attorney for the first time for my parents to find out about trusts, etc. my parents wanted me to sit in on the discussion with the attorney.... but first the attorney asked my parents if they were ok with me being there because of attorney-client confidentiality. If my parents had said *no*, I would be asked to leave the room.
I wouldn't be surprised that attorney who withdrew from the case you mentioned did so because too many people were nosing around into each others affairs, and he didn't have time to bother with such nonsense.
