If you never had a written fee agreement with your aunt's attorney nor did that attorney ever represent you, then the attorney who represented the trust that you had an interest in had no legal right to send your aunt's attorney money that was a portion of your share of the trust.The one exception would be if there was a court order allowing such. I suggest that the way to resolve this situation is first speak with your aunt's attorney as to why he or she received any money that should have been yours. After that conversation, contact the trust's attorney about his reasons for the payment.If the explanations do not make sense, perhaps you contact your state's bar association about the situation.
