Nottinghamshire Police said the case had been 'very upsetting' for the wider family
A Nottinghamshire woman altered bank documents in an attempt to fraudulently claim nearly £60,000 from her late uncle's estate. Amanda Elam, from Retford, said she was owed £57,961 after depositing the vast sums into a joint account with her uncle while he was alive.
Nottinghamshire Police said the case had been "very upsetting" for the wider family. Elam told relatives the joint account was opened in 2017 so she could assist her uncle in purchasing a bungalow. As such, following his death in September 2019, the executor of his estate refused to administer his will until the facts of the matter were known. Police launched an investigation, with Elam providing officers with bank documents – namely emails and electronic letters – which she said proved the money had come from her accounts.
She was jailed for 18 months, suspended for two years after pleading guilty to fraud by false representation and two counts of making or supply an article for use in fraud. Elam must also carry out 260 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.
