Two Fraudulent Checks from Attorney: What to do?

My fiance is the beneficiary of his dad's estate. The attorney in charge sent him two fraudulent cashier's checks totaling $9000.00. This happened just yesterday. The attorney knows, but seems to be avoiding the problem. How do we approach this?


First and foremost, the fraudulent cashier's checks should not be cashed or deposited, because that will only cause problems when they bounce back. If your fiance believes the attorney is acting fraudulently, he should contact the police and the state bar association. Don't get fooled into thinking that the attorney will eventually make good on the transaction. If it is fraudulent now, it will only get worse.
