I am in NYS. My mother passed away in February of this year. I have received a form A-8 from the estate attorney for me to sign and return approving my brother as administrator of the estate. Instead of waiting to be appointed administrator to handle things legally my brother had his wife forge my mother`s name to her NYS vehicle title and pre-date it before her death so that it could be registered to my sister who needed a car. No money changed hands. I am hesitant to sign and return the form A-8 because of the forgery and the trust lost in my brother handling the estate. Should I just not sign the paperwork, should I hire an attorney, should I tell the estate lawyer about the forgery, just not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. BTW my mother`s last will and testament was signed but not dated with no witnesses or notary.
Thank You
