AN INTERESTING CASE!
FRAUD - meaning of - "deceit, impersonation with intent to deceive; criminal deception with the intention of gaining an advantage; a snare; a deceptive trick; a cheat or swindler; fraudulent item".
FRAUDULENT TAX BILL!
An executor acting in the estate of his late Uncle was convicted of fraud after pocketing more than £25,000 for his own use from the estate. He claimed it was needed to pay a tax bill! So he forged the signiture of his co-executor on the cheque. These things really do happen, so the moral to this story is - why not consider appointing a solicitor as a co-executor in your will so that the estate can be dealt with properly and efficiently ........and keep it out of the law courts by contacting our probate department!
