Several weeks after a depositor's death, Chase Manhattan Bank paid twelve checks on the deceased depositor's account. The depositor's signature on the checks had been forged. The estate sued Chase. Chase sued the estate's attorneys. The attorneys had advised Chase of the depositor's death and gave it a copy of the death certificate and a court order to examine his safe deposit box three weeks before Chase paid any of the forged checks. Of these parties, is any liable?
