Re: Theft of a house belonging to elderly not of sound mind and body (alzeheimers)
If it can be proven that the document was forged, then the person who perpetrated the fraud can be guilty of Grand Larceny - a high felony, and several lesser crimes. The punishment is State Prison Time for as much as 15 years. There is a statute of limitations, but it depends upon the discovery of the crime.
