My sister and I are joint executors and beneficiaries of our parents estate. My (older) sister always took on the roll of 'provider' if my parents needed help with property maintenance but it was no big deal until now, 6 months after my mum's passing. I lived with my mum for about 14 years until her death. In the latter years, I was a full time carer as she deteriorated rapidly.
Now 2020... my sister submits a document of "personal loan' between her (the Lender) and our mum (the borrower) for $300,000 which is for monies paid for a variety of reasons over many years...... huh??? My mum was conservative in her life style and very budget conscious. In any case, mum would have told me if this document existed.
There is no doubt in my mind and in the mind of my children that the (word) document is falsified. It shows my mums signature (obviously faked) and the signature of a witness with whom I have a close relationship. She denies ever having signed this and is mortified that her name and signature appear on this document.
Where do I stand?. I need to prove that it is faked. By the way, my sister is an artist... a very good one that can draw portraits, free hand!
