Father died and now cheque bonus case on my mother
My father recently passed away. During his lifetime, he used to run the business in my mother’s name, although my mother is a housewife and was never actively involved in the business operations. He would frequently take her cheque books and obtain her signatures, at times without explaining the purpose or nature of the transactions. In several instances, he would carry the cheque book himself and issue cheques to suppliers and moneylenders connected with the business. There were also occasions where agreements were executed without my mother’s knowledge or proper understanding, and in some cases, signatures may have been affixed without her direct involvement.
Following my father’s demise, certain individuals are now attempting to present and enforce these cheques and are threatening both my mother and me with legal proceedings. I am only 24 years old and have recently started my career. My father passed away leaving behind no assets, only liabilities and debts associated with the business.
Due to continuous harassment and threats, my mother and I were compelled to change our residence. Despite this, individuals connected to these transactions have attempted to contact us separately, trace our whereabouts, and issue threats regarding legal action. While we are prepared to respond appropriately to any legitimate legal notice or proceedings, we remain deeply distressed and concerned about the situation, particularly considering that my mother had no active role in the business and was merely a nominal proprietor in whose name the business was operated.
