Types of Estate Fraud

Estate fraud can be extremely subtle. It can also be incredibly obvious. Some scenarios include:

A person using a power of attorney to misappropriate finances
A person physically destroying or hiding a will so that a deceased person's wishes cannot be followed
A person exerting undue influence resulting in a change of beneficiary designation

If you have any reason to suspect wrongdoing, we encourage you to get in touch with us so we can investigate further.
