Both my brother and I are co-personal representatives for my father's estate. The Probate attorney also did my Dad's will and was chosen by my brother. There are missing Deed's that were prepared by my Dad's previous attorney (I just found this out last night) yet we're spending tons of $ with this other sttorney while he does all of this research looking for these miissing Deeds.Will I be able to request and receive copies of all of the Deeds he did for my Dad or is the client attorney privileges in effect even after the client dies?

The probate Attorney represents the Estate, not the individual person. Yes, you are entitled to info about the Estate's holdings.

EDIT: These seem to be different circumstances than what you posed here - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/real-e...ck-738881.html

It's the same. We just found out more information. It's like a big puzzle right now. And we have no one answer any questions . I did some research of my own and I discovered the previous attorney's name.

No, the father's attorney cannot assert, against the father's estate, an attorney-client privilege in behalf of his deceased client. The dead dad and his estate are now, legally speaking, one and the same entitiy.
