Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

For 5 years I received estate income based on an letter from estate attorney which stated my percentage and amount.I never received any returns or other financials.After 5 years I accepted a lifetime buyout based on that income.
One year after the buyout I received 5 years worth of returns and an agreement settling the estate for my signature showing .The amounts on the returns was less than I received.The estate promptly paid me the difference from the initial 5 years.
I asked the that my lump sum buyout be adjusted since I negotiated 6 times times my annual as a buyout.I never received any financials.They have refused.
Do I have any legal standing?

It could have been negligence or fraud, but either way I think you may have a good cause of action to pursue. How much is the difference?

You may contact me privately via email to further discuss this matter.
