California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District · Filed
Holding
The court held that an out-of-state attorney who renders legal services to a nonresident executor of a California estate, primarily from outside California and for an out-of-state client, does not engage in the unauthorized practice of law in California under Business and Professions Code section 6125 and is therefore entitled to compensation from the estate under the Probate Code.
