My wife took all of my 401k by forging my signature. Can I get it back? My wife took 100K out of a 401K by signing my name to the requests and I had no knowledge. She hid the statements from me & spent the money. I am no longer employed by this company so I was just letting the account grow and didn't follow the balance.
Is faking and forging a will illegal? My boyfriends dad died and his half sisters faked his will and forged his signature. They put in this fake will that everything was left to them.
