After my husband’s funeral, I went to my sister’s son’s first birthday party, and she announced, “My son is your husband’s child, so…””Inheritance, I’m going to take half of your $800,000 house.” She even showed me her will. I said, “Oh, I see,” and tried to stifle a laugh. BECAUSE MY HUSBAND…

James Wilson’s office exuded discretion. He was saddened by Adam’s passing. I explained Cassandra’s actions, showing him the forged will. “This is an amateurish forgery,” he confirmed, “The language is all wrong, and the signature would never stand up to expert analysis. But the fact that she created this is deeply troubling.”

I presented Adam’s legitimate will, his medical records confirming the vasectomy, and his journal. “Adam was nothing if not thorough,” James observed. “These medical records alone disprove her claim.”

“What should I do?” I asked. “I don’t want to publicly humiliate her, but I can’t let her take half our home based on a lie.”

James suggested hiring a private investigator. Frank Delaney, a former police detective, was tasked to investigate Cassandra’s financial situation and Lucas’s biological father.
