I mean the family contested the will, it seems like they should be the ones to pay unless they win. Not saying nothing shady was done as I'm sure there was.

They contested because they say that these 2 individuals coerced their family member to sign over control to them while under their care. You can't charge the estate for legal fees after attempting to defraud it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but they did win didn’t they?

In successions, the attorney for the executor is usually paid from the estate unless there is something else going on. Apparently Joe represented Clark as the executor for the time she was the executor. He should be compensated for his time while she was executor from the estate.

I understand that the responses to what I just posted will be negative. But that's the law.

The CEO of the COA wrote herself in for 25% of the total amount of the estate to be received over the course of 20 years. The lawyer assigned to provide estate drafting assistance helped the CEO do this and, I believe, also tried to draw some funds from the estate as well. That's the definition of unethical, or at the very least, conflict of interest. That's about as basic as it gets.

Imagine how often they get away with it - especially when there are no family members to raise a stink. This is greed at its lowest. I have no idea how they sleep at night.

Except he is also apparently charging for the time spent defending her for her (likely criminal) acts preceding her removing herself as executor. Not to mention he refuses to provide detailed billing due to “attorney client privilege.” If his legal work was in furtherance of the estates business, how would privilege preclude him from showing his work hours?

Attorney client privilege is absolute. Doesn't matter if it was regarding estate business. I'm certainly not defending Joe here - I don't know anything about his 7200 in billables. Just explaining that the executors attorney's fees are estate liabilities even if the executor is removed. The fees up to removal are payable by the estate.
