> She basically said if I didn’t make the statement, the government would reach back to those 2 or 3 years of my being a “minor adoptee” in the late 90s/early 2000s and charge the Grandparents’ estate for the SS benefits they received as a result of the adoption until I turned 18.
No, that would not have happened.
> I was listed as a grandchild on their will back in 2019 because regardless of the legalese, I was still their son’s child.
For them, but the “legalese” is what matters.
> Thoughts?
If you were adopted by your grandparents then she’ll show that in court and her son (if he’s your dad’s son) will inherit.
This has nothing to do with your question, but if you were adopted by your grandparents, then you would have been re-issued a birth certificate, listing them as your parents. The old birth certificate isn’t legitimate.
Get yourself a lawyer.
It sounds like maybe they had legal guardianship, rather than adoption.
Is her son biologically related to your dad?
I sounds like your grandparents had guardianship not adoption? Can you petition the court for a copy of the order?
Get a lawyer. It doesn’t matter if she knows them they should represent you. Do not sign anything for her or talk to her. Have you made a claim on the estate? Is there a will? You are his heir and should be entitled to his estate
Go to state bar association and look up lawyers that handle estates and probate. Bring your paperwork to prove who you are. Explain you were just informed of fathers passing and you need help to ensure anything from his estate that your entitled to per the state laws/ your fathers will is completed.
Dude you know perfectly well she is trying to defraud you. Get a lawyer, tell her all further communication will be via lawyer. Tell her she coerced you into the first thing and you rescind it pending advice of counsel.
Please speak to a solicitor.
And do not take legal advice from someone who actively is working against your best interests.
Dude, why would you sign random forms she brings over?!
Default position of random forms being shoved in front you at short notice with demands for signatures is always – GET FUCKED!
You shouldnt have signed or writtwn anything. Its possible you just screwed yourself.
Do not sign anything. Get a lawyer. If local laws allow, record every conversation. Make a show of the fact you are recording her. Right now she is trying to use the fact she is a lawyer to get away with sketchy shit. She will be less inclined to do so if you have her on recording saying these things. A ring doorbell could be perfect for this, being she keeps showing up at your door with a notary.
Do not sign anything.
Did your dad die intestate? Or did he have a will?
Make sure you are recording anytime you two have a conversation from now on. Take the name of the notary as they witnessed her try to intimidate and blackmail you.
Report her to the state Barr association for harassment.
Use your father’s estate to pay your legal fee’s.
