Q: What do I do if my brother forged my deceased brother's name to a will? He also has done other things illegally.
There is 3 estates involved. My Dad my brother & my sister who passed. The will has been denied 2 times before the court & is now before the appellate court. He also sold his car, turned his truck over to their Mom & cleaned his bank account out. The so called will is just a note my brother made to himself. I'm executor of my Dad's estate & want to be appointed executor of my brothers as well. Their is currently 2 separate lawyers I have & he has one as well. I really need help here & the JP Da's office said I need a civil lawyer for this. This is costing me deep in my pockets. What do I do? I did have a handwriting analysis done & it is not my brothers signature. It was printed & I did the other brothers as well & it is not conclusive as I need another sample of his printing.But it is high probability that he signed it. Thank you for any advise given.
A: Curious post---sounds like litigation has been ongoing and you have 1, maybe 2 attorneys. You are dismayed at the currents and progress, however the process sometimes takes time----my recommendation is that you meet with your lawyer(s) and discuss your concerns, as well as try to get an expected timeline. Also, discuss with the the issue of hiring another lawyer (if this suggestion did not come from them) and obtain lawyer recommendations from them. Good luck.
