If you are referring to the Estate's attorney, he or she has no special obligations to any beneficiaries of the will. If need be, a beneficiary may hire an attorney to represent his or her interests. If, instead, you are referring to the attorney who drafted the will, there would be no obligation.
Good luck to you.

I agree with Mike mostly, but feel that the Estate's attorney has an obligation to see the Will is carried out according to its terms.
