forged will

Fake inheritance document

A forged will is a fraudulent document purporting to be someone's last testament but created or altered without their knowledge or consent.

The forgery might involve a fabricated signature, falsified witnesses, or wholesale invention of the deceased's wishes: The siblings contested what they believed was a forged will.

Forged wills are a staple of inheritance disputes and murder mysteries alike.
