Forensic Handwriting Comparison Examination

Forensic Document Examination (FDE) is a forensic science discipline in which expert examiners evaluate documents disputed in the legal system regarding the authenticity of a document or handwriting on that document.  Questioned document examinations are involved in comparison of the document, or aspects of the document, to a set of known standards (i.e., authentic specimens).  In the majority of civil cases, the core issue is the identify of the person’s handwriting or signatures on such documents as Last Will and Testament,  Trust , Deeds, Transfer of Title, Real Estate contracts, Prenuptial agreements, and the like.  However, in criminal courts, the documents can be anything from prison letters, ransom notes, counterfeit currency, and passport or travel documents.
