What is the name of your state? OH
I just found out I'm a beneficiary in a trust fund left from a family member. I have a few questions regarding this.
First, do I need an attorney to withdraw my funds?
Second, one of my family members who is another direct beneficiary has offered his attorneys services for free. He is requesting that I give him legal permission to handle all of my funds. Is this a good idea?
Third, if I have to hire an attorney to withdraw my funds, I'm told by the same family member that the standard attorney fee for something like this is one third of whatever is coming to me. Is this true?
Fourth, if you recommend I do get my own attorney, how do you suggest finding one?
Thanks for all your help
