ATTORNEY REPRESENTING FOLK WHO HAD FAKE WILL TOSSED OUT
Question:
In 2012, a Judge ruled that a fake "Will" that was supposedly found by (3) people was invalid. Though the deceased died in the 1990's, this "will" was submitted to an O&G Company that led to a Lease Agreement.
Low and behold, it was discovered that these folk are not tied to the property at all and have no legal claim to it. However, the Attorney who represented these people will not remove himself from the case. Until he does, I am having a difficult time moving forward. Though these folk committed fraud and lost their case, why would not this Attorney remove himself? Is this legal? Can he do this?
Please advise.
TIA.

Louisiana was a forced heirship state up until the mid 1990's when the laws changed somewhat. I am not a lawyer but we have several on here that will probably answer your question. Did the deceased person have children or close family at the time of their death?

The attorney wouldn't have to recuse himself just because he lost an earlier ruling. When and why to stop fighting is usually the client's decision, not the lawyer's.

Well, it's good to know that since the attorney's client is not related to us and has nothing to do with the property, it doesn't matter if the attorney will remove himself or not.
Thanks for the information!

Interesting story here, and I'm wondering how they claim to have acquired your minerals.

These folk entered into a Lease Agreement with a well-known O&G Company. The Company told me that even though the "will" was tossed out, the LA still had to honored. (How is this legal and valid)?

Sounds like your legal woe is unfinished.
Wonder why the Judge didn't or couldn't
settle that issue also?LN, have you considered suing for damages
and fees, and possibly criminal charges?

So, is it legal for the O&G Company to still honor this LA under the circumstances?

Might look into serving them an eviction notice,
and might be able to keep what's left behind
beyond the eviction date. If legal expenses are
a problem, you might consider calling your local
university (student lawyers association); and
might also consider this:
