That could work.
Just a twist to the plot, make it more interesting, keep everything IC. People who are attempting murder on 14-year olds for a key to inheritance probably wouldn't hesitate to kill the lawyer (or blackmail the lawyer) who is in charge of it.
I don't know why or how I got a rep for that. Nor do I know who gave it to me. :V As I said, people often give reps for random things.
