Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
Forging a signature on a check
My Father passed in 2006. My mother (we are estranged) cashed three dividend checks after his passing that had mine and his name on it as custodian. I feel I am entitled to the dividends. Who is responsible for reimbursing me for the checks? My mother? The bank that cashed the check? The transfer agent? Or the company whose stock is held? Thank you!

Re: Forging a signature on a check
A forged check is no check. The issuer of the check still owes you. Of course, the issuer will investigate and might charge your mother with a crime. Also, your mother owes you because she forged you name and took your property.
