What is the name of your state? New York
A friend left me $3000 and I have received a letter from her executor saying that the county social services dept. has told him to return all disbursed monies because they are owed to social services. He wrote "I am told that since there was no probate of the will, I was not a duly appointed official- even though named executor in the will". I received the money from the executor in the form of a personal check written by him on his personal account and deposited it in my personal account. I feel like writing him back and telling him that even if I still had the money, (which I do not) I would not be inclined to write him a check for 3000 of my dollars. If I were wealthy, I would send him a check....no problem. But this is not the case. I have not contacted him since receiving the letter a few days ago. What is going on? What I really want to know is- what are they going to do....sue me? Take my car or what?
