Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

trusts beneficiary

Hello,

An associate of mine is (supposedly) the beneficiary of a trust. My associate is being told to access the trust (as his) fees need to be paid to satisy certain document requirement for the following documents: 1- Anti-Terrorism Clearance Certificate, 2- Affidavit of Fact and Claim, 3- Drug and Money Laundering Certificate, 4- Change of Ownership Certificate. Each document carries it's own cost. To me, it looks like #1 and #3 are all about the same thing... so I'm wondering if the leg of my associate is being pulled.

The trust is in the UK. The associate is local in Illinois.

It sounds like one of those Nigerian email scams.

If your person thinks it's legit, this is very involved, and he needs an attorney.
