Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Hi,

I came across some emails in my file. Apparently, my attorney was emailing the opposing attorney. They were revising a stipulation for an upcoming hearing. And I found another email. They discussed revising the stipulation some more. Then I read the order that went to the hearing and everything in the order was against my best interest. Everything they said was a lie. Aren't I entitled to know about all of the revisions they revised before they went to the hearing? Oh, and my attorney convinced me not to go to the hearing. Can this be considered fraud? Thank you

How did you come across the emails? Did your attorney copy you when he emailed to the other attorney? Typically, without express authorization, your attorney can negotiate with the other attorney. But it must be for your best interest and the final decision must be made by you, unless you gave the express authorization.
