          were made by Panepinto as to Mary Orlando and Connie Kates.  All            
          such petitions for citations were denied.                                   
               On July 28, 1983, Mary Orlando, as the prior administratrix            
          of the estate, and Connie Kates, as Administratrix of the Estate            
          of James Meriano, the late brother of decedent, filed an appeal             
          from the decree of the Register of Wills which admitted the will            
          and codicil of Philip Meriano to probate and which granted                  
          letters of administration to Panepinto.                                     
               Panepinto retained the services of the law firm of Dilworth,           
          Paxson, Kalish and Kauffman of Philadelphia (the Dilworth law               
          firm) to represent her in the will contest litigation.  The firm            
          also became the legal representative for the estate.                        
               In response to the petition filed on September 3, 1982, by             
          Panepinto with the Orphans' Court seeking possession of all of              
          the estate's assets and documents and demanding an accounting by            
          Mary Orlando, the Orphans' Court issued a citation to show cause            
          why Mary Orlando should not file an account for the estate.                 
               On November 4, 1982, the Orphans' Court issued a decree                
          directing Mary Orlando to file an accounting within 30 days.  In            
          January 1983, Mary Orlando had still not filed the required                 
          accounting.                                                                 
               The Insurance Company of North America (INA) was surety on             
          Mary Orlando's administratrix bond.                                         
               After she was appointed administratrix of the estate on                
          September 3, 1982, Panepinto filed claims against INA, as surety
