A co worker asked me to witness the will of an elderly woman who was a family friend of his and his wife. His wife has had power of Attorney for years and has had a joint checking account with the woman. He asked me and another person to sign that the signature of the woman was indeed her signature. Since she was very frail of health we signed that the signature on the will and the one on the woman's NYS I.D. card was the same. It was her signature but we had never even met the woman.
He did this all on LegalZoom.com. Frankly I had no real understanding of what I was getting into. The will is in Surrogate Court and a lawyer (she says she's an officer of the Court so I assume she is a lawyer.) has been trying to get s hold of me to answer questions. I have no wish to be involved in any of this and I'd like to "recant", if you will, my signature and state that I was not properly informed of all the eventualities.
I need an answer ASAP...like now as there is going to be meeting of the involved legal folks tomorrow, Wed.
Need some help. Oh and the lawyer tracked me down at work and is going to call me in about an hour.
