Description
This case primarily involves the question whether an attorney who is paid for legal services pursuant to a claim against an estate is liable to the estate for reimbursement when the court order requiring payment of his claim is reversed on appeal. The probate court held that the attorney was required to reimburse the estate after the order approving payment of his claim was reversed on appeal. The court of civil appeals reversed, holding that the attorney was entitled to keep the money, since he had earned his fee by rendering services to the administratrix in her individual capacity. 587 S.W.2d 458. Since we agree with the probate courts disposition of this question, we reverse the judgment of the court of civil appeals in this regard, and render judgment that the attorney be liable for reimbursement to the estate.
