Q: My daughter stole 9 checks from my dad who had cancer. She forged his signature on all 9 checks with his signature.
My daughter forged my dad’s name on 9 checks starting on 7-2020 through 9-2020. The total sum was $ 4,870.00. I am no lawyer but, the way I have read the statutes, this would be a class D felony. A class D felony has a 4 year statute of limitations. I would like to seek counsel on this matter. Note: I have all the records and signature card stating that my daughter was never on my father’s account. She deposited most of these checks via cell phone deposit. The way I found out was the bank called me on the last check because she tried to cash it through a drive through teller at the bank.

A: Call KCSO today and talk to a Detective. Civil SOL for conversion is 3 years, so no cause of action by Father. Your Father is the victim, but there might be an Elderly Abuse crime also. Daughter will need to make restitution also as part of Probation.
