What To Watch Out For
While no two incidents are the same, it’s a good idea to trust your instincts when it comes to probate fraud – and if something doesn’t seem right, investigate it further. Some examples of probate fraud warning signs, include:- Unusual or sudden changes to a will
- Wishes expressed in the will at odds to that person’s previous views
- Large sums of money transferred
- Unusual property transfers
- Missing valuables
- An additional name on bank accounts
- The signature on the Will appearing different to the person’s usual signature
- The individual appearing nervous or stressed about their finances
