Check Fraud
My sister was writing checks on my fathers account and forging his signature. Some payable to her for totaling over $23,000. He didn't realize this and passed away last week. Is there anything that can be done to her? She is also named executor of his estate.

File a theft complaint with the police, and file a claim and/or contest in the probate court proceedings. If the case is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

You can confront her about it and demand the 23K or be taken out of her share of the estate or she can be prosecuted.

Re: Check Fraud
Where (what state) did your dad live? Did your sister have power of attorney over him, or was the account a joint account with her?
Please reply.
