California Court of Appeal

This malpractice action was brought by plaintiff-conservator against defendant-attorneys for alleged dereliction in representing the prior conservator, who was removed as conservator after allegedly misappropriating over one million dollars in assets from the conservatorship estate. Dismissal without leave to amend is reversed, where plaintiff, as the successor trustee, may pursue a malpractice claim against defendants and is not burdened by the malfeasance of the prior conservator.
