Re: Blank Check
First question is does your daughter have proof that she used the money for presents for the woman's children? If so, then she probably did not steal or convert anything. Although technically, once the woman died any authority she had given your daughter vanished, your daughter probably would not be found guilty of doing anything wrong provided that she used the money for the woman's children. In this situation, I would recommend talking to a lawyer before charges are brought. This will enable your daughter to make sure her evidence is in line before it is needed.
