What is a Fraudulent Misrepresentation?
When a bad actor intentionally deceives another by lying about the true nature or impact of a document, the contents of a will or trust, ownership of a property or asset, forging documents, another person’s acts or omissions, or making false promises.
A legal term referring to the intentional deception of another party to secure an unfair or unlawful gain. In the context of probate and inheritance, this can involve misleading information regarding the validity of a will, the value of an estate, or the identity of heirs. Victims of fraudulent misrepresentation may pursue legal remedies to seek compensation for losses incurred due to the deception. Understanding this concept is crucial for protecting one’s rights in estate planning and probate matters.
