    This must be a joke.

    If its not a joke, you deserve everything coming to you. Why on earth would you post on a public money saving forum and expect sympathy about you forging a document to deprive other people of property.

    I think most of us here have better things to do than spend time advising criminals.

    Thanks. I am not asking for sympathy, I am going to take everything that will be given to me, I just needed some advice thats all.

    Your MIL is quite a shrewd woman.

    She knew you would quite possibly get away with it due to your state of mind - hence choosing you, howeever, you will now have to prove that you were at the time mentally unstable and can't be held responsible for your own actions.

    This is the only thing that would get you off with this - however, she was obviously scuppered in her plans as you have all been found out.


    I just hope you really can prove you didn't know what you were doing - because the onus is on you now. NOT your MIL who is obviously going to save her own skin and lie!

    She never signed it - you did. How would your wife feel about you owning up to the fact that her mother is a scheming witch who has used you?

    Thanks for the reply, As i have stated i will probably get the worse end of this. My MIL has stated that she will do what it takes to keep her job and home. If i dont go to the police she will today.

    As far as my wife goes, she knows what has happened i told her last night before asking for some advice. I know i am going to get shouted at and called a criminal which is what i deserve because i signed it and no one else
  • Good that you are going to the police...you say you will loose your whole family but isnt your wife helping you type this ?

    So you signed as a witness to something you didn't actually witness? Oh dear that was a bit silly wasn't it - Go to the police, tell them everything, if you have a history of mental illness you can get a something from your GP stating this. MIL you say? what family will you lose and why? If you other half will leave you because of something their mother tricked you into then quite frankly not much of an other half are they?

    How do you feel about what your Mother has done? The posts are a little confusing and I can understand why some think it could be a wind up. I take it he has forged someone's signature not just witnessed a document?
  • Thank you everyone for all the comments. The have been appreciated. He has gone and done the right thing. I have vowed never to speak to my mother any more as she knows how vunrable my DH is
