What is the name of your state?New York (I live in North Carolina but the will was probated in New YorkState where the deceased lived.)
A year ago I received a distribution as a beneficiary. Before receiving the distribution I signed a release accepting the amount and releasing the executor from any future claims from me. Now the lawyer handling the estate has written me (and other beneficiaries)saying a mistake was made in the distribution, and asking us to return about 5% of what we received so it can be redistributed. Am I obligated to return the money?
