Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm based on the rule that a frustrated beneficiary of a will does not have a legal malpractice action against the testator's lawyer unless the testator's intent as expressed in the will, not as shown by extrinsic evidence, is frustrated due to the lawyer's negligence. Espinosa v. Sparber, Shevin, Shapo, Rosen & Heilbronner, 586 So.2d 1221 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991); Lorraine v. Grover, Ciment, Weinstein & Stauber, P.A., 467 So.2d 315 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).
