Estate Fraudulent Activity Consequences

Committing perjury to obtain estate credentials and using them to open a bank account and move funds out of state can result in charges of perjury, fraud, theft, and embezzlement. These actions may involve both state and federal crimes, including mail fraud if a cashiers check is used. Charges are typically filed in the county where the crimes occurred, but federal authorities may be involved for interstate activities. Legal consequences can be severe, and consulting with a local attorney is advisable for guidance on how to proceed.Full Conversation
