A Funeral Home Owner Stole a Million‑Dollar Estate

A 47‑year‑old funeral director, Unique Green, was arrested after police discovered he forged the will of a deceased man who owned a $2.2 million fortune. Green is now charged with stealing over $300,000 and four counts of fraud.

How the Scheme Worked

• Pseudonym as Spouse: Green pretended to be the client’s spouse to gain control of the estate.
• Document Alteration: He changed legal papers, allowing himself to claim a large portion of the money before proper distribution.
• Discovery: Family members spotted irregularities in the paperwork and alerted authorities.

Prior Offenses

• Green had a history of manipulating wills for other clients.
• Law enforcement had already monitored him before this case.

Current Status

The court will decide on Green’s sentencing, which could involve a lengthy prison term.

Takeaway

• Verify Legal Documents: Always double‑check wills and estate papers.
• Trusted Professionals Only: Ensure that only reputable, vetted professionals manage estate affairs.

Families are urged to conduct thorough background checks on anyone handling their loved ones’ legal matters.
