It is frequently necessary to
determine if a particular handwriting is carried out by a certain person, as in cases of
suspected fraud, forgery or falsification:
| Wills, contracts, agreements, (travellers') cheques or
other documents in cases where the authencity of the signature might be
uncertain.
|
| Anonymous letters (of intimidation) where I can identify or eliminate
a particular suspected person.
|
| Or a "friend" might use your signature for his own purposes
|
In such cases, as a handwriting expert and graphologist and with the
proper material in hand I would be able to determine who has written the questioned
document.
The material to be used for the examination consists of:
| The questioned document, i.e. the signature or the textsample, which
is to be determined
|
| Material (samples of handwriting) for comparison, which if at all
possible was written with no suspicion of future examination.
|
It must be ample and should (as a minimum) contain several of the same
letters and figures as the text to be determined. It should also show the same type and
style of handwriting: i.e. capitals and lowercase letters.
If the examination is a part of a forensic investigation it is
recommended that original material is used. Photocopies should be used only in cases where the
original material has be presented.
