Cumming woman catches trail of forged checks

Editor's note: Georgia is a bit more active in punishing forgers. The Estate of Alice R. Gore, a disabled ward of the Probate Court of Cook County had 16 large annuity checks stolen and forged.  Judge Kawamoto did not seek to punish the perpetrators.  Why not????  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

 

Cumming woman catches trail of forged checks

August 02, 2013
CUMMING, Ga. — After a woman's son died someone wrote fake checks in his name, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff's incident report.

On July 22, a woman told deputies the Forsyth County Probate Court assigned her as executor of her son's estate, who died in February.

She said she saw a portion of a lease and three checks that had her son's signature, but the handwriting did not match. The deputy said he was no handwriting expert, but he could see a distinct difference.

The three checks totaled about $3,500 and were all made out to the same person.
