As a lawyer, Utterson is definitely being put on the spot to do the right thing by law; however knowing the laws that are described to be followed under wills have made it required for the lawyer to carry out the wishes of the decease. This makes things a bit more complicated in the fact that we know about the criminal record that Mr. Hyde now holds. Once the case against Hyde is further investigated, a meeting should be held with Mr. Jekyll to decide if this is still the right choice for his personal will. If this plan does not work out for some reason, the stout devilish man would most likely be held as guilty and because he would be held in custody, the conditions under which he could have received the money could possibly be up for debate. Criminals such as Hyde should definitely not be able to encompass that great amount of riches and would not be able to take on the responsibility that comes with it, as well. If things come to their worst, the lawyer should follow his own instincts, do what’s best for the safety of the community, and not allow the money to be given to such a poor character.
