Q: I am being charged with forgery of a financial insterment (a deed to a house) and explotation of an elderly for said
Deed.
If I sign the deed to the house back over could the charges against me be dropped?
A: Anything COULD happen, but I strongly suggest you don't do anything without talking with your attorney. Don't talk with law enforcement or the DA's office and make an admission of guilt. Good luck.
Kiele Linroth Pace agrees with this answer
A: There's no way to answer that question. You need to hire an attorney.
A: Making amends does not absolve you of the original crime but the prosecutor might be satisfied, especially if you hire a great defense team who happens to find some reasonable doubt in the evidence.
