<re: I'm afraid it would be an scam.>
Yes rakyses, that is exactly what it is. A barrister would not have the @london.com address. If you conduct a site search for said address, it appears in too many previous scam attempts. Therefore the supposed family and barrister are just very naughty people trying to fleece you. I am happy you became suspicious and asked the question. Please stop communicating with mentioned fraudulant trickster and just walk away from it.
