What is the name of your state? CA
How can we confirm that we're getting what we're supposed to?
My mother's friend passed away and soon thereafter his brother called to tell her that she's in his will. (She speaks very little English.) The brother first said that he will call her to invite her to the reading of the will, but then a few months later (today) a $2000 check arrived in the mail from the brother's account with a letter stating smething like this:
Deceased Name Trust. This gift to you is specified in his TRUST. Lillian *** and I are the designated trustees for the trust and are glad to carry out this duty for our dear departed brother. Etc...
Please sign the receipt and return in the enclosed envelope within two days of receipt.
Enclosed was also a copy of an online article regarding taxes on gifts.
We need to know if that's truly what was in his Will. How can we find out? Who do we contact? The deceased lived in Garden Grove, CA and the brother in Costa Mesa, CA.
thanks,
Simona
