Easy Question: Receipt for Distribution - Is the timing ok?
What is the name of your state? California
I have received a small inheritance from my great aunt.
The "attorney for successor trustee" has sent me a "Receipt for Distribution".
It reads:
"Received from (trustee name), successor trustee of the (My great aunt's name) revocable trust of 2003, the property distributed to the undersigned consisting of the following: 1. cash $#,###.00"
Then I am supposed to sign and date this and return it.
However I have not received the cash. Apparently they want this signed "Receipt for Distribution" back before they will cut the check to me.
But the "Receipt for Distribution" says I have already received the cash. I really don't want to sign something saying I have received the cash until I have.
I don't really suspect dishonesty, but I am not familiar with these things and would appreciate an attorney familiar with this kind of thing letting me know if this is standard procedure or if it should be questioned.
I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, (mods) please feel free to move it.
