MHNA Inheritance Crime Consulting LLC provides a comprehensive range of specialist inheritance crime-fighting services to heirs, lawyers, law enforcement and others worldwide. We handle multi-million-dollar multi-jurisdiction inheritance crime cases, and are also equipped for smaller cases.

This no-frills no-gimmicks website describes our approach in detail.

We've seen estimates quantifying Baby Boomer assets just in the USA at ~$100 trillion ($100,000,000,000,000 — to be testamentarily distributed mostly by devolution, not dispersal). We guestimate conservatively that 0.1% of that — $100,000,000,000 — will be lost to before- and after-death inheritance crime perpetrated by heirs, lawyers and estate managers, among others.

Generally speaking:-

inheritance crime is ordinary plain-vanilla crime committed in the context of inheritance
there's almost no specific criminal law about it. There doesn't need to be: ordinary plain-vanilla criminal law already covers it
there's no such offense as 'inheritance theft' or 'inheritance hijacking'
there's no specialty of inheritance crime. There does need to be. Ordinary criminal lawyers do need to be intimately acquainted with all relevant (and some irrelevant) procedural, substantive, financial, legal, technical and practical aspects of the crime scene in full context: what are the jurisdictional issues; who are the principal and accessory perpetrators and how do they work individually, in combination and collectively (including what they are supposed to be doing and not doing in civil law, if that's relevant to criminality, which it usually won't be); exactly what ordinary plain-vanilla and other criminality do they commit (including its concealment) and how, when, where and in relation to what do they do it; who are the victims; what assets, liabilities, business, situations, issues, activities, relationships and transactions in which locations (inner office, back office, front office, recourse, etc.) are the subject and object of what criminality; what points and issues, especially those raised in purported self-exculpation by the perpetrators, are relevant and irrelevant; where the perpetrators are lawyers, judges and relevant officials, what are the peculiar ways and circumstances in which they conceive, carry out, accomplish and attempt to consummate their criminality
there's nothing inherently difficult about committing, identifying, investigating, examining, evaluating, valuing, expounding, elucidating, exposing or pursuing inheritance crime.

Inheritance crime is close to the perfect crime because:-

the subject, for all its antediluvian antiquity and ubiquity, is in its fundamentals badly misunderstood and badly mishandled
perpetrators, especially lawyers (as such and as estate managers) and other stiff-collar criminals, know how to comprehensively exploit the phony complexity of an inheritance situation (there's no such thing as a complex inheritance situation) and its open invitations to criminality
neglectful, emotional, distressed, confused, uninformed, incoherent, despondent, grandiose victims let it happen and then do nothing about it
specialist chance'ry lawyers dragoon their now multiply victimised victims in the direction of expensive, super-speculative litigation, which is usually multiply comprehensively inappropriate
police and prosecutors:-
- fail from ignorance to understand the simple, ordinary dynamics and context of inheritance crime — ordinary plain-vanilla crime, comprehensively covered by general criminal law, committed in the context of inheritance
- are easily confused and intimidated by the special inheritance context, which they clearly know nothing about
- do not lack for pretentiousness, presumption and bad faith. Knowing nothing about relevant civil law, knowing less about inheritance law and practice, and knowing nothing about the case (except that they don't want it), "It's a civil matter" is an all-too-familiar inappropriate, unfounded, meaningless, irrelevant, reprehensible edict. Law enforcement are notorious for it.

customers

MHNA inheritance crime-fighting services are available direct to testators, aspirant heirs, expectant heirs, disappointed heirs, heirs-in-waiting, executors, administrators, civil lawyers, criminal lawyers, police, prosecutors, accountants, auditors, tax authorities and appropriate others at all stages of any inheritance process.

foci

MHNA deals with the full range of inheritance-related general, technical, financial and other dysfunction, malfunction, misconduct, dishonesty and criminality in relation to (among others) wills, codicils, intestacy, succession, estate management, mental capacity, elder abuse, inter-family dysfunction, disinheritance etc. These are usually simple crimes that have nothing to do with inheritance law.

services

At all stages of the before- and after-death inheritance process, MHNA provides, discreetly and confidentially, the full range of advisory, consulting, supervisory, data, support and other services. We can handle cases involving any type of estate asset including cash, securities, art, antiques, marine vessels, private airplanes, realty, intellectual property etc., and any type of testator unfinished front-office business.

jurisdictions

MHNA deals with dysfunction, dishonesty and criminality in common-law and civil-law jurisdictions: we consider inheritance crime to be largely generic wherever committed. MHNA is at home internationally and multi-nationally across multiple jurisdictions. MHNA is a global business.

summary

MHNA Inheritance Crime Consulting is open for business to anyone, in any jurisdiction — the subject is generic and universal — concerned personally, professionally and or otherwise in fighting inheritance crime.

Though we also assist on the civil side, MHNA's particular line is the criminalising of inheritance crime. MHNA identifies, investigates, examines, analyses, assesses, evaluates, gross- and net-values, elucidates, exposes and pursues inheritance crime.

The widely discussed global multi-trillion-dollar wealth transfer now in progress (devolution mainly, dispersal rarely): you can inherit it and or you can steal it. Before- and after-death testamentary assets fall into the hands not only of criminal heirs but of an entire ecosystem of parasitic predators including lawyers (especially lawyers) and professional estate fiduciaries (mainly lawyers). And 'theft' is simplistic. The range of intra- and inter-jurisdictional, multi-dimensional, multi-layer, multi-stage, multi-party criminality that can envelope just one testator and one estate is encyclopedic: theft, criminal non-disclosure, criminal misrepresentation, criminal abuse of position, criminal accounting, money laundering, asset laundering, activity laundering, assault, kidnapping, impersonation, murder, forgery, obstructing justice, perjury…

MHNA is familiar with all this from real cases.

We look at the full range of possible, potential, probable, prospective, incipient, developing and (if we are hired too late) accomplished before- and after-death inheritance crime by old and new family, 'friends', professional financial advisers, asset managers, executors, administrators, trustees, lawyers, heirs, judges, regulators, estate front-office opponents, healthcare practitioners, caregivers, guardians, power-attorneys and others. No-one is above or beyond suspicion.

A few of our favorite inheritance crime situations (all known directly to MHNA in detail from real cases):-

multiple 'expert' lawyers in multiple jurisdictions giving patently bad advice to the criminal standard
'leave everything to me' solicitous elder abuse including coercion to make lifetime gifts, new will, codicils, etc. + contemporaneous theft (art, furniture, cash)

elaborate, brazen, flagrant inheritance crime hidden conspicuously in the plain site of 'experts'
committed by organised criminals, especially gangs of lawyers, gangs of heirs and hybrid gangs
criminal cash, asset and activity washing, rinsing, bleaching, drying, ironing, starching etc. involving estate managers, power-attorneys, trusted insiders, lawyers, auction houses, corrupt private buyers, corrupt bankers, corrupt tax officials, corrupt police, corrupt judges, etc.
committed by estate manager criminals and their lawyers in criminal imaginary estate management
committed against high-value, intricate, vulnerable estates with complex factual and legal international and multi-jurisdictional dynamics
inherent and exherent duty-interest conflict crime (criminal evidence tampering a specialty)
sagely pronounced by 'expert' lawyers to be 'unprecedented', 'too difficult', etc.
criminal numbers: books of account, draft and final financial statements, tax filings etc.
criminal imaginary estate front-office litigation by the estate manager criminal and her lawyer accomplices against co-criminal front-office opponents: phoney claims, data criminality, brazen dishonesty to the court, 'eye-watering' criminal billing, etc. (and criminal chance'ry judges and costs judges)
committed by a succession of the victim heir's own multiply dishonest specialist saboteur lawyers colluding with heirs and the criminal estate manager and her gangs
sabotage of the testator's unfinished front-office business by the estate manager criminal in collusion with front-office opponents and others.

This barely scratches the surface of a vast subject.

MHNA is on top of it.

With MHNA on the case, participants on all sides of an inheritance crime scene will catch on that a genuine operation is in place — conscientious, diligent, loyal and relentless.
