Probate & Estate Theft

Protecting Estates from Financial Exploitation

Estate and probate fraud is one of the most underreported forms of financial crime. Trustees, executors, family members, and caregivers with access to an elderly or incapacitated person's finances can divert funds, manipulate estate documents, and exploit their position for years before anyone notices.

When it's finally discovered, the financial trail is often tangled. Bank accounts have been drained, property has been transferred, and records have been obscured. A certified fraud examiner can reconstruct the financial history, trace the missing assets, and quantify the losses — providing the foundation for legal action.
