A Forensic Handwriting Expert is a person who has specialised knowledge in handwriting analysis. This expert can examine and compare handwriting samples to determine whether they were written by the same person. The expert may also be called upon to authenticate documents and signatures or to assess the age and style of a writing sample. Additionally, a forensic handwriting expert may be asked to testify in court, providing expert evidence on matters related to handwriting and documents.
A forensic handwriting expert may be needed in a variety of situations, such as to compare known samples of handwriting to a document in question, to identify whether a document has been forged or altered, or to provide evidence in a criminal trial. These experts can also be called upon to examine documents for evidence of fraud or deception. Additionally, handwriting experts can be used to authenticate signatures or other documents.
