Judge, 3 Drew. 306. [i] Ormond v. Hutchinson, 13 Ves. 47, per Lord Erskine. ' See ante, 342, note 1. CHAP. III.] DUTIES, ETC. OP AGENT IN FUDICIAET POSITION. 359 (c.) In respect of rendering Services. Duty of legal adviser in preparing deed or mil.'] — The principle of the cases to which we are now about to refer is obviously a de- duction from the general principle which regulates the dealings of persons in fiduciary positions with their beneficiaries. The prin-i ciple is, that wherever a prof...essional man is called in to give his services to a client, whether to prepare a deed or will, the law im- putes to him a knowledge of all the legal Consequences likely tore- suit, and requires that he should distinctly and clearly point out to his clients all those consequences from whence a benefit may arise to himself from the instrument so prepared; and if he fails to do so, he will not be allowed to retain the benefit.' Instruments obtained from clients.'^ — In Watt v. Grove {k), de- cided in 1805, Lord Bedesdale, C, said that when a deed is -^ prepared by the person who seeks the benefit of it with- [-^ 347] out the intervention of any other person, that circumstance alone raises a suspicion of fraud; hence "instruments obtained by attor- neys from their own clients are always viewed with extraordinary .jealousy" {I).
