What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I emailed an accounting to a rather difficult beneficiary it has been three weeks now. Via email you might ask? This beneficiary lives in a foreigh country and does not want to provide me a physical address. I am the trustee and a beneficiary as well. We are related but I don't know him at all. Therefore, I requested 2 government issued Ids (photo id w/ address verification) from that country. He refused to provide w/ any. Note taht, I will be wiring a large sum of money to this guy, I don't want to be held liable in any way; should that money not reach its intended recipient.
In lieu of what I asked, he sent me 2 kakamimi docs: birth certificate and a notorized statement by 2 bozos perhaps his cronies to acknowledge that they know him and such...
Clearly, what I requested is what is needed to open a bank account in that country I confirmed that fact.
I ignored him altogether. And feeling the pressure, he had an ambulance chaser attorney call my house stating he represents him. I told the guy not to call my house unless I am being sued and it should be done in writing.
What are my rights here?
The alternative, according to a lawyer would be to file a petition to the Surrogate court to have my accounting approved.
It is something I would like to avoid at all costs.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
