Your best bet will be to have the questioned signature verfied against known true signatures. I would think that a good place to get a true signature would be from the bank records of the deceased. The bank should have several copies of the true signature.

Proving a sign forgery in a last will and testament may involve obtaining a handwriting expert's analysis to demonstrate inconsistencies with the purported signature. Other evidence, such as witnesses or CCTV footage showing the actual signing, can also be helpful in proving the forgery. It's important to gather all relevant evidence and present it to the court for a decision.

How do you write a last will and testament?

To write a last will and testament, start by clearly stating that it is your will and revoking any previous wills. Then, list all your assets and how you want them distributed among your beneficiaries. Be sure to appoint an executor to carry out your wishes and sign the document in the presence of witnesses to make it legally valid. Finally, store the will in a safe place and inform your loved ones where to find it.

What proof is needed to prove forgery?

To prove that the signature is a forgery, you would use expert handwriting analysis. To prove that a specific person forged your signature is a bit harder, but if you can pin down the time when the document in question was signed, there MIGHT be relevant security camera footage. Otherwise the evidence is circumstantial. If a particular person is trying to make use of this forged document (e.g., is trying to cash a forged check) then there is a reasonable presumption that he is the person who committed the forgery.
