Can the bank legally call and tell someone that they are an heir of a safe deposit box, and can the police get involved in the opening of a safe deposit box? If my brother and I were listed as heirs to the safe deposit box, but I did not disclose the box before probate was closed, and now the bank needs to speak with their legal team before opening the box, what should I do? Could my brother have opened the safe deposit box without me present and taken a will out, leaving other contents inside? If my brother never disclosed the will, is there a consequence? Could the bank set me up to commit a crime to open the safe deposit box, or could this be a sting operation? If my brother has the will and is listed as the executor of the estate, does this invalidate my responsibility as an executor, and does he have to let me know if he is the new executor of the estate? If the letters of testamentary are not current, do they still have to notify the executor? Hypothetically, what if he opened up after probate was closed, do the courts need to notify the former executor? What if I renew my letters of testamentary but someone else was appointed executor by a will?

I am the plaintiff in a Supreme Court case in Suffolk County New York. I've been told by the judge to amend my complaint. The decision was made on the 27th of January and I was given 20 days. Do I count my 20 days from the 28th or the decision date of the 27th? There are also three defendants and they do have an attorney. So I assume I serve the attorney but do I give him one copy or three copies... one for each defendant? Can I serve this to the attorney ONLY by certified mail?

How can I request the court to have the plaintiff identify themselves with proof during an ex parte hearing, given that the plaintiff has used fraudulent real estate documents and has provided misleading information about their identity in previous hearings?

I downloaded an app called AnchorUSD to buy $250 worth of Dogecoin Cryptocurrency. However, the app mistakenly made me purchase $25,000 worth of Dogecoin. I sold it immediately for $24,150, but the app is trying to withdraw the remaining $25,000 from my bank account. I've placed a hold on my account and frozen my credit bureaus. I'm afraid they will demand payment or send it to collections. How should I approach them if they reach out for money, protect myself from potential identity theft, and handle any collection issues that may arise?
