Scam
Standard Chartered exists but I just rang their head office and they have NOBODY named Scott Welby. You can ring them yourself https://sc.com/uk/contact-us/index.h...
ALL emails from Standard Chartered are from @standardchartered.co.uk or @sc.com-- and I can guarantee the scammer contacting you does not use an @standardchartered.co.uk or @sc.com email

Banks do not contact you if you are next of kin. Banks have NOTHING to do with inheritance issues. Probate attorneys contact you by CERTIFIED MAIL, never by email, regarding an inheritance. You are then invited to their office or you can hire your own solicitor or ask the legal attaché at your country's embassy in the UK represent you and meet at the probate attorney's office. To prove you are next of kin, YOU are the one who needs to provide proof how you are related to the deceased -- birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, etc to prove that you are actually related and don't just have the same name. If your parents or grandparents are still alive or you have older siblings then YOU cannot be next of kin. Your grandparent would be next of kin, then your parents, then any older sibling. Do unless you're an only child with no parents or grandparents it would be illegal for you to claim to be the next of kin as you are not next of kin. Your oldest living immediate relative would be next of kin.

Want to prove its a scam. Say that you have retained a solicitor at Slater & Gordon (they are a very large UK law firm that handles inheritance matters amongst other things) who is acting as your representative. Say that your solicitor is going to call him today to set up an appointment to review the documentation and once he verifies everything, you are going to fly over to sign the paperwork. Say that your solicitor has a copy of your photo ID he will bring to the meeting. Then wait for the next excuse - if you ever hear from them again

Remember you are NEVER contacted by email about an inheritance. You are always contacted by certified mail by the probate attorney handling the deceased's estate
