Should I be worried if a court-appointed person contacts me?
Not necessarily.
It may simply be part of the information-gathering process. The best approach is to stay calm, understand who the person is, what role they have, and what information they are requesting.
If you are unsure how to respond, ask for guidance before providing information or signing anything.
