LEGAL DOCUMENTS

Laws are put in place to protect people and their assets. Fraudsters undermine the
law by taking what is clearly not theirs.

Documents which the law recognises and which criminals commonly target are wills
and testaments, real estate contracts, agreements and deeds.

Areas which a handwriting expert can assist lawyers in preventing fraud include:

•  Examination of legal documents for signs of forgery and changes

•  Analysis of signatures to determine authenticity

•  Identification of substituted pages in wills and other legal documents
