    Hi,

    I have come in to an inheritance from a house that my uncle owned and was split between the nephews. The executor for his estate has sent me a letter, which reqeusts that I sign the enclosed document (which states that I have received the cheque and a load of disclaimers about how I cant sue them), and return it to them. THEN, they will send me the cheque and not before.

    It just doesnt make sense to me to sign that I have received the money before receiving it. Is this common practice, am I being too fussy?

    regards and thanks in advance for any advice.

    J

    Give him a ring and find out, or better still get them to explain it to you in writing until you are satisfied.

    You can't seek legal advice here I'm afraid.

    If you have an inheritance, your entitlement to it is not dependent on you first signing some kind of disclaimer or whatever it is.

    If you have concerns about signing this document, then go see a solicitor.
