Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
Probate,wills,trustees/executors
My sister forged the will, forged my father's name on his checks, syphoned money down to nothing. So that my father would go on medicare and go to a retirment home for vets. She abused him while in her care in front of a DCF-nurse (witness) who left becuase she was treating him so badly. And she wrote the will to benefit only herself, her husband, her four children, and her nearest in age siblings. Leaving the remaing three younger siblings with close to nothing when the youngest was closest to him. She also kidnapped him in the first place to store all of his possesions-our family heirlooms-which she wrote in the will would remain in her possesion. When the will was drafted my father had advanced Alzheimers, documented by doctors. And her witnesses are no where to be found. Her signature of my fathers name is identical to all of her handwriting when she signs her name. And I have his signature on all my cards, since childhood.
-I want to know should I confront her with the forgery of the checks, will, and get her on crimnal charges?

First, you should contest the admission of the will in the probate court. Alot of your evidence is very relevant to the validity of the will.
Second, you should speak to a detective at the local police department to see if they are interested in prosecuting this case.

I hope you appealed the admission of the will. if you can prove what you say, the court should throw it out. If the will were admitted, or if all property were transferred by her imporpertly before death, you may have recourse. these family situations are never pleasant.
