The estate attorney, Scott, that stated 'changing wills is a perfect crime" is so right on the money. It doesn't seem to matter either if a will was changed illegally and that someone could prove that it was changed illegally. In a small town like ours, our relative not only recently used undue influence on her elderly aunts to change a will, she also created a fraudulent power of attorney in which she fraudulently forged her stepmother's signature giving her husband power of attorney to get his stepmother's money. She has been doing things like this for DECADES, including what crimes she pulled on us (her own son). All her crimes could be PROVEN, yet no attorney in this small town would do a thing to her. We were given the joke of an excuse, "She is too old to prosecute". Bull poop! If that is true, then let me know the age when one becomes to old to prosecute for criminal, civil, and federal crimes or too old to prosecute for tax evasion and fraud because a lot of other people would be curious to know too. By the attorneys failing to prosecute her for her crimes thus allowing her to continue her criminal path to cheat others, then to me, aren't they just as criminally guilty as her for allowing her to keep stealing legacies?
I believe it becomes a perfect crime because there are some ruthless ATTORNEYS out there that help these crooks draw up new wills and tell them exactly what to do to make their crime a perfect crime. If a crime can be specifically proven, but if an attorney won't file a lawsuit for the injured heirs, then that is when it becomes a perfect crime - when the attorney gives aid to the criminal. I witnessed this over and over again. When cornered my in-law always tries to blame everyone else for her deception and crimes by pointing the blame to someone else like, "Oh the attorney did that" (in regards to filing a fraudulent survey, deed, and documents), or the "bank made the mistake" (when they illegally transferred stock or money for her), or "the tax preparer did that" (when she filed her fraudulent return evading taxes). Come on now! Who INITIATED the transactions and received the gain - she did, the criminal! The problem is there are so-o-o many Stolen Legacies out there because like I said, I believe, there are some attorneys helping these criminals get away with their crimes. If you don't believe me, I can produced enough evidence (with everything in black and white) from decades of her crimes.
I cry for these relatives that she robbed and I never knew some of them. They are gone and have no one to speak up for them. If someone doesn't stand up for the "deceased before us" then who will? They can't. These crimes are happening every day to so many innocent people. If these attorneys know that "changing wills is a perfect crime" or that "power of attorneys are a license to steal", then CHANGE THE LAWS. PROTECT OUR LAST RIGHTS and OUR LAST WISHES. We simple folk can't change them. We aren't the lawmakers; attorneys are. We are only the saps that try and depend on the attorneys to do what we pay them for. I tried to stand up for my husband and my husband's loved ones and they about destroyed us and will keep trying to just because I stood up for what is right. I can't get passed this because this is one of my purposes on this earth. It hasn't been much fun. It almost cost us our lifes. It feels like hell, but I can't let it go. I wrote a diary about our encounter with the family criminal in chronological order resulting in over 900 pages, so if your attorney guest, Scott, wants to know what he can do to help, tell him to try and change things for the innocent victims of these criminals who try to get away with the perfect crime with the help of attorneys that helps them MAKE it a perfect crime. It can't be a perfect crime if the attorney simply says, "NO, I can't help you cheat your loved one." As you can tell, I am very adament about doing something to change things for others to prevent them from going through what hell we and others before us went through. Thank you Dr. Phil.
