Harold touched one document. “Did you sign this?”

“No.”

“You’re sure?”

“I’ve signed thousands of fitting receipts, invoices, checks, and contracts. That is not my signature.”

Though it was nearly nine at night, he called his attorney, Linda Park. She arrived the next morning with a laptop, reading glasses, and two legal pads, and reviewed each document carefully.

Then she asked me to describe the meeting where I’d signed the probate papers.
