Q: What are my first steps to sue someone suspected of fraudulently using my signature to petition the court for a probate
I was working with an investment agency who turned out to be a bunch of crooks to try to sell the home in my parents estate. I suspect he photo copied my signature off the contract, which is filled with manipulative verbiag, to use on several petitions to the court to change the address for all future notices, to give his attorney my voice in court, and to award the interest in the equity of the estate. I feel as though I was severely taken advantage of due to my Mensah mental state, and now I've been robbed of my interest in the estate and my little brother is profiting from it.
A:
The first step would be to consult with attorneys.
The next steps are likely to petition the Court. Thereafter, it would be to initiate a lawsuit against the fraudsters.
