Overview

Documents play an essential role in legal, financial, and professional matters. However, fraudulent practices such as erasures, overwriting, and deliberate alterations are often used to change the meaning of documents and mislead stakeholders. Such tampering can impact property transactions, business contracts, wills, certificates, and financial records.
