Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Will Distribution & Forgery
It has come to my attention by the executor of my grandfathers will that I should have received a large portion of the will. Checks were sent in my name to me and forged by my mother and put into her own accounts. My mother had assured the executor (her sister) that the money was set aside for me, which was evidently a lie and rather used for her own good. I was a minor (16-17yrs old) at the time. Can I pursue this matter? If so, who should I go to?

Re: Will Distribution & Forgery
You didn't indicate how long ago this occurred, but if you want to pursue your mother on a forgery charge, contact the local police and try to set up a meeting with the division that handles this offense. But first I would confront your mother and see if she's prepared to make good on what she did.
