 |

I got an email from a lawyer about a relative of mine that died and he is distributing the estate to the next of kin.  I mean  . So I never met the guy but I had a older half brother from my dads first marriage and he lived in Pennsylvania. Now I don't how much money I am getting because the lawyer said there are expenses first like his cut and some other stuff.  But hopefully its a chunk of change, that would be sweet.

My Nigerian uncle's cousin's nephew's houskeeper's dog left me some money as well, sadly the up front untraceable fees were far more than the actual supposed payout, be very very careful before diving into that pile, not all out of the blue windfalls are as they seem.
I hope it's not a scam, and if that's the case sorry to hear about your relative, but my spidey senses are extra tingly hearing what you describe. likely best to forward it to your lawyer or notary for thier input and help, get some pro's involved.

Hahaha, it's real, the only question is, is it thousands, or thousands and thousands? I know it's at least thousands. I should buy a bus in honor of the deceased if it's enough.

Who is the executor of the estate? The "lawyer" is probably hired by him/her but if you are named then you are entitled to copies of the will or trust.
I would be wary of the lawyer unless he was hired by the executor and you trust the executor completely. And remember, money changes people... and their values. |

No better way to honor the departed than in a rusted out unsafe pile. I like your style dude.

Unless the lawyer is asking for funds upfront consider this found money. In terms of asking for a copy of the will the laws are different in every state. Have you Googled this long lost half brother?
Someone notable said: "You never really know someone until you share an inheritance with them."
We were fortunate in the inheritance game. On one side there were no issues or disputes. On the other side there was but one heir and it is hard to battle with yourself.

| I think the lawyers should get all of the money. They have a lot of student loans to pay and they can't all start class-action law suits. |

Best reason to have a living trust... upon death, property gains a stepped up valuation prior to transfer to heirs, evading capital gains tax.
If you have any property check into this! |

I even have my cars in our living trust. In California one cannot be too careful with probate costs and I want to keep those suckers in the family. |

You won't be getting a check in the mail until you prove who you are. Until you get a certified letter with paperwork you have to sign, have notarized, and return it's a scam. If he asks for money to process the claim or pay his fees it's a scam.
