Lawyer Holding My Inheritance Hostage
Location: New York
So I’m trying to get my inheritance from my late grandfather. this lawyer is requiring I send my legacy receipt in for the check before he will send it to me. I’m in Maryland, his office is located in upstate New York. I called him to explain why I wouldn’t sign a document saying I already got the money when I haven’t gotten it yet, and his answer was well then I’m not sending the check take it up with the courts. He also explained he’s intentionally doing it to ensure he gets the signed legacy receipt.
I filed a complaint with his local AGC, but I’m trying to find ways to make him send me the check without spending any money in the courts as it’s not a very big inheritance to begin with.
Just to clarify (I tried to post the letter with info redacted but it’s not allowed) the letter he sent plainly states to sign and get notarized the legacy receipt then once he receives it he will send the check.
How can I make him send me the check first? My concern is if I sign the document then literally anything happens with the check (like getting lost in the mail) I have zero legal options as I would have already signed a notarized document that I had the check in my possession.
