ACTEC COMMENTARIES ON THE MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Caveat to Annotations: As mentioned in the Reporter's Note, the Annotations that follow each Commentary include references to a broad (but not exhaustive) range of cases, ethics opinions and secondary authorities that deal with the professional responsibility of trusts and estates lawyers. Reflecting various approaches taken in different jurisdictions, the cases and ethics opinions are often inconsistent and cannot be harmonized. The summaries of the cases and ethics opinions are not part of the Commentaries. They are included for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the judgment of the Reporter or ACTEC regarding the issues involved.
