The petition alleges that on June 23,1980, petitioner, as attorney for an estate, received the sum of $8,017.85, representing the proceeds of a surplus money proceeding derived from the foreclosure of the decedent’s residence and that he deposited that sum in his general trust account. Thereafter, he withdrew from the trust account $6,553.85 of moneys belonging to the estate, and used the moneys for nonestate purposes without disclosure to or authorization from the executrixes of the estate. From June 23, 1980 until the present time, he has failed to identify and preserve the funds of the estate, except for the sum of $1,636.00 expended for estate purposes.
