Errata

Looks like your mum will be getting a wake up call.
She cajoled/bullied/blackmailed someone into forging a signature.

Exactly.

I know you said in an earlier post that you haven't benefited from any of this money at all and I hope you can prove this.

She's has had the money so charges should be brought against her.

She has not only knowingly used a form on which her sisters signature has been forged and obtained money under false pretences but she has also instigated the whole thing and used initimdation to do so. How on earth does she think she can get out of this?

Hi Lavdaloca,

Im not sure how i could prove that me or DH have had anything off my mum.

As said before we have not had 1 cent out of this.

Im not sure what she thinks, all of this because she could not be bothered to contact her own sister.

DH has only his family to lose (If that sounds nasty it is not ment to) Whereas My Mum has her house and job to lose. She has blatantly admitted it to me that what she done and intends NOT to get into trouble because she will deny it.

How can she deny she has had a certain amount of money? This is mortgage fraud. There is a paper trail i.e. the form.

You need to look at your own bank account since your Mum obtained the money to ensure you can account for every amount that has come into it. Also if you have made any major purchases recently make sure you can explain how you paid for them.

Don't take it to heart that some posters have given you a hard time. Your husband has done the right thing in owning up to what he has done. Given the circumstances, his family may be horrified but, if he loses them over this, they aren't worth having in the first place.

I don't see how the mother can get away with anything.

She knows that the person who signed the form wasn't the co-owner, doesn't she? How can she deny that?

Anyway, you and your husband will tell the authorities what she has done, and why should they believe her more than you? Surely it will be investigated?

The only large ammount have been from DWP and HMRC. Apart from that we dont have any savings etc...

The only thing is where she works they handle a lot of money so i dont know what to think. I know she will lose her job but thats her fault

My mum is very crafty, When this gets investigated then she will be up to her neck in it, saying that so will DH but i told my mum that i would rather her admit to it that deny it because of DH will miss out on his children, the reply was if he lies for me i will do the same. DH blatantly said NO. He is not allowed to talk to my mum otherwise WW3 would start. DH is also helping the police by admitting to it. Her solicitor does not know about DH signing the forms but my Aunt's solicitor knows everything

Your loyalty is to your husband not your Mum and he has done the right thing by confessing and also not allowing her to implicate him further by lying. I personally wouldn't have anything more to do with her.

After DH signed the form, what did the MIL do with it?

Who did she present it to? Who (if anyone) was deceived by it? Who did she INTEND to deceive? Did the form deceive anyone or was it spotted straightaway as a pretty pathetic forgery?

This is the aspect that I am not clear about and it's crucial to deciding what (if any) offences have been committed.

Can you explain what happened between the time the form was signed and the time when MIL contacted you to say that the forgery had been discovered? It would really help.

My mum has took out a mortgage on the property which her sister is entitled to half of without her consent.

KP - I asked about this and the above quote was the OPs reply. The Mother has had the money as I asked if the Op had benefited from any of it as that would be even worse trouble for her husband. She confirmed not 1 cent.
