I have an aunt who cut off the rest of the family and is living her own best life, and as revenge for that, when my grandfather died, the rest of her siblings gathered together and forged her signature on the inheritance documents, and screwed her out of her cut of 1.25 million dollars. (split 5 ways with two of the ways going to my mentally disabled uncle, instead of 6 ways the way it should have been)
I was relatively young and didn't realize how fucked that was until it was past the statute of limitations and nobody could do anything about it, but I will gladly report that every single one of my aunts and uncles wasted their money and had nothing to show for it within three years.
However, I am sad to report that my evil grandmother, who was divorced from my grandfather, became the steward of the half million dollars that my mentally disabled uncle got, and it was all gone before she passed away.
The statue of limitations usually starts from the time the event was discovered not necessarily from when it occurred. So if they hid it for years and discovered it down the road, action might be still available.
Even if that were the case, like, the best she could do would be pressing criminal charges because none of them have any money now to pay her back the difference.
