Expert Rules Forgery Of Howard Hughes Will
A new handwriting expert, Lyndal Shaneyfelt, says the purported Howard Hughes will is a forgery and that the forger likely used Hughes handwriting samples. He noted Melvin Dummar’s handwriting is among those compared and that further examination is needed to identify who forged the document. The case involves Summa Corp. and First National Bank as executor, with a civil probate matter in Clark County and a separate challenge by Hughes cousins claiming Texas residency and a share of the estate.
