I refused to take care of my mothers bills because she wanted me to forge my name on her checks. My aunt has been doing this for years and now I find out she is telling my mother not to leave me anything in her will. I want to take legal action against my aunt.

Go to your mothers bank and tell them.

Well first and for most the whole thing would not have worked because if your mother wanted YOU to forge YOUR name on the checks then the bank would still catch that because your probably not on the account. Second, if she was my mother I would do every thing possible to help her. If your aunt is advising your mother to leave you out her will then you have no one to blame but yourself. Do you think that just because you are your mothers child you should receive without earning what you say is yours. Say it is hypothetically possible to take legal action against your aunt and won; would you be able to accept what is given to you with a clear conscious? Always knowing you refused to help your mother. You should remember there is time to honest and just and there comes a time when you must help mom and still be honest and just....instead of refusing to act.

You mean your mother wanted you to forge HER name on the check, right?
First of all, you'll have to go to the bank and tell them about it, then you'll have to prove it. Your mother will have to tell them that it isn't her signature and put a stop to it.
Are you wanting to take legal action against your Aunt because she's whispering in your mother's ear to cut you out of the will? That's what it sounds like, Sorry.
Unless your name is on the account along with your mother's there isn't much you can do, legally.
You can always fight the Will in probate court after your mother's death if you feel it unfair.

Obviously your Aunt is doing this with your mothers permission. What you should have done in the first place is have your name added to your mothers accounts, and then you would not be "forging" anything. You would simply be assisting your mother in paying her bills - legally.
I am sure your Aunt is stressed out about the extra work on her plate, that you as the child of your mother should have stepped up to take on.
No one is going about this legally or correctly.
If your mother would like you to take over the bill paying, then talk to a lawyer about how to go about it, or talk to the bank, with your mother present.
If your mother is happy about her sister doing the bill paying, suggest to them that they do it legally and have the Aunts name added to the account.
I am not sure why you would be worried about your aunt talking your mom out of including you in the will, that is rather sick that you are worried about the "rewards" of her being dead, when you didn't step up to bat when she is alive.
Sorry to say it so bluntly, but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about things - and it appears your entire family is just waiting around for mom to die to reap the rewards. At least your Aunt stepped up to bat to help.

Take care of your mom and her bills. What would be so hard about setting up a joint checking account so you wouldn't have to "forge" anything. If you feel your aunt is doing wrong and your mom is willing, step up and take over. There are legal ways to do it. Just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.

On what grounds? There is nothing you can do. Your aunt can sign any ones check with their permission. They only way it is considered forgery is when it is done without the permission of the account holder. In addition, if your mother has given your aunt power of attorney, your aunt can sign anything on your mothers behalf even without your mothers knowledge .... even her will... Furthermore, if your aunt has instructed your mom to leave you nothing in the will. So be it. One should question why your aunt would instruct her to do so? Have you spoken to your mother? Does she feel the same? If so why? Life is to short to let money cause a rift in your family.

Talk to your mother. Work out your differences. If your mother knows about the aunt signing the checks then stay out of it. If she does leave you out of the will, oh well. Had this same problem in my family. You will survive.

Just call the bank where your mother banks and speak with a manager and report the forgery.

Yea, you got legal action. Talk to a lawyer, but first, decide what you want to do and get out of it.
