Threats of legal fees

 The more I get into trying to understand what is happening, the more I see it as being silent alignments among the parties.  Fiduciary law is being set aside in the mistaken belief that insisting on fiduciary law will deplete an estate.  Nothing will be depleted if the lawyers tell beneficiaries the truth; they do not have to compromise or give away their inheritances, because to go to court will be costly, that is an empty threat, but this deception works.  If you go to court fiduciary law will be followed but the lawyers do not tell you that they just say if you go to court it will be costly.  It will never happen if the law is black and white, which is what fiduciary law is.  If an administrator owes occupation rent, pay it.  It is the law and trying to go to court on that is an abuse of process.  It will never happen.  And lawyers know it will never happen. But negotiating an empty threat at $600 an hour is lucrative.
