Brachtenbach, J.
(concurring in the result) — I concur in the result solely because of the peculiar facts of this case.
Were this case here under the ordinary disciplinary proceedings, I would adhere to the long established rule regarding trust funds as articulated in In re Deschane, 84 Wn.2d 514, 516-17, 527 P.2d 683 (1974):
Those few lawyers who mishandle trust funds, who fail to maintain complete records of trust funds and who fail to account and deliver funds as requested are reminded that disbarment is the usual result.

Stafford, J., concurs with Brachtenbach, J.
