Attorneys can only have one client. It is common (and should be more common) for attorneys to ask other people to acknowledge this by signing a waiver. If you do not trust the executor, you will have to abide by Nevada rules on when you can ask for an accounting, etc. and, if it is "fishy" or not produced at all, hire a separate attorney.
