What if a lawyer represents an organization and the person that hired the attorney was not an authorized representative of the company

The owner and only shareholder and only officer of the company hired an attorney to file a civil action...the owner died and the attorney withdrew for other reasons(conflict of interests). The deceased''s widow hired a new law firm to continue the case and never probated the will...15 months later still hasn''t probated the will die to a huge debt owed by the company and doesn''t want to take on the debt. Isn''t the attorney handling the case responsible for checking to see if this woman can make decisions for the corporation? The attorney even agrees that the will has not been probated and knows the widow is using the company as a sword and a shield. What can I do? My attorney doesn''t want to follow up with ethic violations. And doesn''t want to be the bad guy in the good ole boys club. What is the responsibility of an attorney to make sure that he is being directed by an authorized representative of a company?
