Signature on will is a forgery, says expert

An expert in document examination who served as a handwriting forensic investigator at Garda HQ for over 25 years, told Limerick Circuit Court yesterday the signature on the will of a bachelor farmer was a forgery. His evidence backed that of two other experts.

Three sisters of Conor O’Donnell from Ballyea, Rathkeale, Co Limerick, are opposing an application by the executors of a will, seeking it proved in solemn form.

One of the two executors of the will and another woman had been arrested and questioned by gardaí as part of a fraud investigation about the will, but no charges were brought.
