Unless the lawyer is a beneficiary to the will probably not. It's not uncommon family members to use the same lawyer.

I agree with Mr. Davidson's conclusion. However, I think you should ask the lawyer whether he or she thinks there is a conflict of interest. The lawyer may decide that a dispute between heirs will make it impossible to administer the estate. So, I don't think you have a legal conflict but you may have a moralor work conflict. Good luck
