USD 3.2B Will Probate Fraud Across 62 Entities

The Challenge

Following the death of a patriarch, a will probate process went catastrophically wrong. Over 8 years, a family member had been systematically stripped of their rightful inheritance worth USD 3.2 billion across 62 real global entities spanning multiple jurisdictions. The fraudsters had manipulated legal proceedings, forged documents, and created a complex web of corporate structures to hide the theft.

Our Approach

• 1Mapped all 62 global entities across 12 jurisdictions including ownership structures and beneficial owners
• 2Obtained and analyzed corporate records, property deeds, and financial statements from multiple countries
• 3Reconstructed the original estate structure as it existed at the time of death
• 4Traced how each asset was transferred or restructured over the 8-year fraud period
• 5Identified forged signatures and backdated documents using forensic document analysis
• 6Built a legal strategy by mapping which jurisdictions had favorable recovery laws
• 7Prepared jurisdiction-specific evidence packages meeting each country's legal standards

The Outcome

• Complete fraud trail documented across all 62 entities
• Court-admissible evidence prepared for proceedings in 7 jurisdictions
