That is a subpoena duces tucem and it is Court issued. If you do not wish to comply, then hire a lawyer to file a motion to quash. Obviously you are not a party to the suit, but your records are wanted by one of the parties to use in Court.

"(4) Inheritance from or through a child by either natural parent or the child's kindred is precluded unless that natural parent has openly treated the child as the natural... View More
