What ethics? If I toddle along to my solicitor to make a will, and tell him I want to leave my half million to the cats' home or the Monster Raving Loony Party, leaving my kids nothing, he will comply. Of course, my kids have the right to object, and the lawyer would advise me of the likelihood of that. But the ethics are my doing, not his. All I ask him to do is to make sure my will is a rock-solid legal one.
