Inheritance Theft

Have you ever been in a situation where somebody held a power of attorney for someone else and they abused that? They stole money from them. They had someone sign documents, but the person who signed didn't have the mental capacity to do so. Or a situation where the executor of a will stole from the estate, or maybe a trustee of a trust diverted assets from the trust that you were entitled to. Maybe someone was forced to make changes to their will. All of these are examples of inheritance theft. There are things that can be done to possibly get the money back, and the people who committed these acts may be subject to criminal and civil penalties. Theft and Embezzlement is a felony. If they were an executor or a trustee, then they breached their fiduciary duties to the estate.
