Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

The lawyer that represents the PR handling the Estate of a fairly large Company has let her commit fraud, the CPA has also let the PR commit fraud. So the PR's attorney and CPA have committed fraud told to me by my attorney that is also a CPA and IRS auditor. The fraud is in the numbers. The PR has swindled, the money to do a take over and is now asking for mediation. What happens when one attorney writes the Florida Bar shows the evidence to the Bar the fraud in the numbers supporting the accusations? What will the bar do? Have you ever heard of this? What happens when the proof is sent in supporting these facts? Thanks a Million!! CC

First, the issue is a matter for consideration of a probate court. Subsequently, the

allegations regarding attorney representation and fiduciary responsibility may be filed

with the FL Bar. Proof must be more than just "sent in" because a hearing and

investigation is likely, depending on how complex the issues are, the admissions

of the attorneys, etc. But the key and primary matter to be dealt with is the

administration of the estate which must be handled by a probate court.
