Relative and other family law matters

[jrodr270]

My grandpa was a bracero in the Bracero program. A new reward was announce for them since they didn't get paid what they were supposed to. Both of my grandparents died. This means the children have the right to claim that money. My aunt went to the consulate in Mexico saying her and my aunt who passed away were the only two child, when there are actually seven in total. She falsified my dead aunts signature saying she agreed to be the only one to receive those 38,000 of pesos. Can we sue her for this?

You're likely going to need an attorney in Mexico.

And there probably won't be much left of that $2300 after suing her.

My other aunt has gotten a lawyer and she has prove of what she has done. Another lawyer helped my aunt falsify the signature as well. What is most likely to happen if my other aunt sues her? Will she have to give the money back? And if she spend the money what else can happen?

You need to speak with an attorney in Mexico.

This is a forum for US law and this is not Mexico.

Surely, your aunt's lawyer has explained possible outcomes, no?

They haven't been specific on the case yet since they still need to meet with the attorney again. Since the Bracero Program guests were in the US I wondered if there would be any help our family could do from here.
