Odd is putting it mildly. Yes, the administrator of the estate has my address,
but, no thanks to "my" lawyer, I supplied it myself to the administrator when paperwork went to my old address after I had advised my lawyer months ago.
Now, it gets better. My lawyer advised me that he received the check on Tuesday, I wanted to pick it up right then,( I now live 80 miles, one way, from this attorney), but he said that he was meeting a client in my area and he could bring it to me and ask if I would I give him a post dated check for his services, hmmm, I didn't answer that one and our conversation went on. He called me last night to verify this appointment and againand said something about paying him out of this money, keep in mind, this is reimbursement for my mother's funeral expenses, not the inheritence money, that's being mailed this week some time (they say), so again, he wants me to post date a check and I ignore that again and conversation goes on. In my mind if I told him I never post date a check for anyone, then this meeting to get my check would be cancelled, well I went with my gut feeling and I was correct. I took my adult son with me to meet him at a restaurant where he was supposingly meeting another client and oh wow! First, I hadn't gotten any paperwork from him for payment ever, he has a invoice totaling $7800.00 dollars and wouldn't give it to me because he needed a copy??? (it was computer generated), he had my check, made out to me in his hand and gave it to me and then I told him I would not post date a check for anyone and why did he have to have it now, he's to be paid out of the inheritence check. He was mad, yelling, etc. said he needed $$ now, took check from me, I'm holding on telling him its my money, then he backs off and lets me have the check, agrees to waiting and tells me he'll send a copy of invoice via mail. He threatened to take me to court and said I misled him, blah, blah blah. I also found out from the administrator's assistant that my lawyer requested that this check be sent to him so I made sure that the inheritence check would be directly sent to me. I know this is a long story, but it's the facts. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything that I should do???
