Re: taxdevasion and fraude bij falsifying signatures

There are a lot of unknowns in the facts that you provided. I assume that your Mother passed away while living in Texas and/or she was a US citizen and/or she owned property in the US. In that case her estate could be administered in the US and you could ask the court to order the bank (or whoever) to turn over the necessasy documents. If none of those are true then I assume that you could get an Amsterdam court to issue the order and have it enforced here in the US -- but I am not sure about how The Netherlands law works. The bottom line is that whatever body is administering your Mother's estate should be able to issue the necessary order to get the proper documentation.

By the way, if you know for a fact that the US-based person is evading paying taxes in the US you should consider reporting him to the IRS. There is a small reward for doing so if it turns out that he did in fact evade taxes.

Hope that helps. Sorry for your loss.
