So you want to hear about lawyers eh? My dear mother decided she was saving the family a lot of work by appointing a solicitor as her executor. When she died, the first thing he did was to empty her bank account. This stopped the direct debit for the house insurance of course. Some time later the insurance co caught up with him and he paid the ARREARS, but did not reinstate the insurance. A bit later the house was broken into whilst uninsured..that's when I began to find that the only reason for the legal profession, is to draw the really dumb idiots away from professions involving safety. That was 6 years ago and I'm still battling with the law society, who say that the solicitor is only accountable to the client (even if she is in no position to complain) and whilst acting as an executor, rather than a solicitor is not even accountable to the law society either. So that's it, they have set themselves up to protect the interests of the dishonest and/or incompetent solicitor, and sod the rest of us. Be as rude as you like gents, they deserve it.
