Hello again, 4:
I don't know how big the estate is, so I couldn't advise you whether it's worth it to hire another lawyer.
I agree with you, the lawyers will keep on piddling around as long as there are funds, against which, to bill. I don't know what YOU should do.
However... If it were me, I'm not a guy who lies down for anybody, and I don't advise people to do so.
IF, however, you're going to proceed in this endeavor, YOU need to LEARN how to MANAGE your attorney's. He's just like anybody else you hire, even though he wears a suit and tie. If you don't tell the leaf blower at your house WHERE to blow the leaves, he's going to blow them where HE likes. So, you need to tell him what to do, and watch him to make sure he does it!
IF, however, you're the kind of person who just pays the retainer and expects the lawyer to do his job unfettered, then I wouldn't go any further. Unless, of course, you can hire one who WILL do his job. But your success rate at hiring the right guys isn't very good.
