2. It sounds like lawyers fighting lawyers.

" ....the Rice family had three legal teams throughout the 16 months the lawsuit was litigated.

Douglas Winston, the estate's administrator, asked Judge Anthony Russo in June to approve the settlement and payment for the family's last set of lawyers, which includes Cleveland attorney Subodh Chandra, New York attorney Jonathan Abady and Chicago attorney Billy Joe Mills.

A narrative included in the June request tried to minimize the work done by the estate's previous attorneys."

I wonder if the payment (if awarded) would come out of the remainder estate or from the lawyers fees already allotted?
