Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

charge of fraud

Sir,

I am writing this on belahf of my fiancee who is a citizen of USA,residing in Delrio, Texas. Her mother passed away on 12 december, 2002. she was recieving support from the government. However, b'coz the daughter didn't have money to conduct the funeral services of her mother, the daughter withdrew the money from the account of her mother. The daughter was not named as a nominee to withdraw any money from the account of the mother. After the withdrawl of the money, the daughter informed the bank officials about the withdrawl. The bank officials mentioned her that some payment plan would be made for her to pay the money withdrawn. However, now the bank officials now send a notice of fraud to the daughter and threaten to get her arrested. The daughter contacted the bank officals as soon as she got a notice from them and is also ready to pay, immediately, all the money that she withdrew from her mom's account. What remedy does she have for s situation of this? how could she stop herself from being arrested? How could she payback what she had taken from her mom's account without too much of a problem?

Re: charge of fraud

She needs to get a lawyer in Del Rio. If she is her mother's sole heir (and if she is not the sole heir, if she has the agreement of all the heirs) she will likely be fine. To determine who should have the property owned by the mother, affidavits of heirship or proceedings to determine heirship are used. It is not always necessary to go to court on a probate matter. She needs to speak with a lawyer to see if that was her own money in the bank she spent to bury her mother (inheriting it immediately upon death).
