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. (Potentially good business for appropriate professionals.)

We are deadly serious about running down inheritance crime and inheritance criminals using criminal lawyers and the criminal justice system. If it can be avoided, we would rather victim heirs not waste their lives and money undergoing a Jarndyce-style chance'ry division of their inheritance.

We have no idea why this is so difficult. Four reasons actually:-

civil lawyers generally favor civil law and practice. They don't give the victim heir holistic information or advice about the civil and criminal justice systems. They like lucrative probate court 'probate litigation' (which often has nothing to do with probate), and chance'ry litigation, and pay little or no attention to relevant crime, criminality and criminal process. Some advertising and other representations are misleading. If you must start with a civil approach, and conflate it in your marketing with 'inheritance theft', 'inheritance hijacking', etc., consider getting such a case into the criminal law system, where you imply it already belongs, before suing anyone. If you say it's 'theft', treat it as such. MHNA will irrebutably present the criminal case to law enforcement for you
prosecution-side criminal lawyers will tend to miss inheritance criminality's relevant civil law — we are not saying that civil law is irrelevant — and relevant factual events, incidents, episodes and sagas. From an intimate familiarity with the relevant inheritance ecosystem, you have to know where to look, what to look for and what you're looking at. MHNA will dissect the case for you, clarify everything for you, and tell you exactly what's going on factually and legally
victim heirs, misinformed about the criminal law system and disoriented by civil lawyers' deliberate, confusingly incongruous, unexplained marketing averments of criminality, don't bother to inform themselves of their concurrent and consecutive civil and criminal process options. With reference to the fine particulars of your case, MHNA will thoroughly inform you so that you genuinely know where to go and what to do
there's no culture among police or public prosecutors of treating or even recognising inheritance crime as either crime or criminal. Even if the case be handed to you on bone china, you would rather make dishonest irrelevant claims to irrelevant expertise in irrelevant civil process — "It's a civil matter" — and consign the victim complainant to the civil justice system's tender mercies, than do your job. MHNA has detailed training programs ready and waiting for you.

Generally speaking:-

an inheritance (or any other) crime as such is never 'a civil matter' (an accursed phrase beloved of so-called law enforcement), or also 'a civil matter', unless the relevant crime statute expressly says so. Out of hundreds of relevant crime statutes globally that we've reviewed, we've only ever seen two crimes — in US states — statutorily justiciable in both criminal and civil court (and neither concerns inheritance)
there's almost no specific criminal law about it. There doesn't need to be: ordinary plain-vanilla criminal law already covers it
inheritance crime is ordinary plain-vanilla crime committed in the context of inheritance
there's no such crime as 'inheritance theft' or 'inheritance hijacking'
there's no specialty among lawyers or law enforcement of inheritance crime. There does need to be. 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 still badly misunderstood, badly explained 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 easily committed multi-dimensional multiple comprehensive crime
neglectful, emotional, distressed, confused, uninformed, incoherent, despondent, grandiose victims let it happen and then do nothing about it
specialist chance'ry lawyers, knowing nothing relevant about criminal law or practice, dragoon their now multiply victimised victims in the direction of expensive, speculative, potentially dangerous chance'ry litigation, which is usually multiply comprehensively inappropriate. No criminal process. It might as well not exist as crime.

Police and prosecutors:-

fail from ignorance and laziness to understand the simple, ordinary dynamics and context of inheritance crime — it's all simple ordinary plain-vanilla crime, comprehensively covered by simple ordinary criminal law, committed in the context of inheritance
are easily confused and intimidated by the inheritance context, which they clearly know little or nothing about. We suspect that criminal investigations of inheritance crime, when they do happen, are cumbersome, ungainly, inelegant and protracted because law enforcement does not know enough about inheritance or inheritance crime, simple or intricate, to do any better. Any other reason?
do not lack for pretentiousness, presumption and bad faith. Knowing nothing relevant about civil law or practice, 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, just because they see an actual or potential civil law connection. Law enforcement are rightly despised for this racket. We are generally not interested in anything any police or prosecutor has to say at any time for any reason about any civil law or practice, whatever their actual or fancied pre-eminence as civil lawyers, however expert in imaginary hybrid offenses, and however clairvoyant about a case they know nothing about. Crime and criminal law must be the starting points.

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.

MHNA also provides comprehensive courses and training on inheritance crime-fighting.
