How to Spot A Forged Signature

The answer to the question about how to spot forged signatures is that you need to hire an expert to do that.

You hire an expert to determine if a signature is forged or authentic.   You hire an expert to go to court, talk to the jury, and confirm whether this is or is not a forged signature—this is a striation, this is a dot, and I’ve been doing this for 20 years.

Some people think they can spot a forged signature and that it’s easy. Sometimes, they literally google how to forge a signature. No one’s going to teach you how to forge a signature because that is a crime, so you’re going to have to attempt to do it on your own.

I could probably write a pretty good article on how to spot a forged signature or how to make a forged signature. But I don’t really want to do teach criminals how to make a forged signature because I don’t want people forging signatures. Our job is to catch criminals and testify in court to prevent loss of property and inheritance.
