See how you assume identifying “hidden money” makes the Will legitimate? That’s the type of bias a fraudster, already willing to fake the Will of a family member, would willingly exploit.
How difficult would it really be to hide money/cash in the family members house and “identify” the amount/location of said funds in the fake Will to give it credibility?
- sushid 9y agoSo the brother/nephew found a way to access his bank account, went to the man's house and planted THEIR money without the man or his wife knowing, and took the phone/ gave it back with the draft, days before the man killed himself? Think about what you just said and whether Occam's razor might apply here.
- will_brown 9y agoIf you follow the OP, he is talking about the concept of forging Wills (in fact he is making a bad joke about doing this to his own Grandpa) not the specific facts of this case. That said, you may be very surprised at what fraudsters do in practice. Accessing bank accounts of elderly parents with or without their knowledge, accessing their electronic devices, or even creating actual forged Wills (complete with signature and notarized) is not exactly unheard of in law. Even murders made to look like suicide specifically to claim inheritance isn't just the stuff of fantasy and movies, same goes for murders made to look like accidents to claim life insurance. In fact very often it is actually a parent who murders a child for insurance money. Here is a link that includes 21 such cases: https://www.jrcinsurancegroup.com/murder-for-life-insurance-scams/ https://www.jrcinsurancegroup.com/murder-for-life-insurance-...
- anigbrowl 9y agoI'm not assuming that. I'm saying that you can't just decide not to evaluate that bit when constructing a hypothesis.
