Forged signatures, bogus names: Tony Hsieh's will is fake, attorneys say
Richard Hsieh alleges forgery in Tony Hsieh's will, citing fake signatures and untraceable witnesses, and seeks to invalidate the document filed in Clark County probate court.
- On Monday, Dec. 15, Richard Hsieh filed a formal objection to the purported will in Clark County District Court, asking the court to declare it invalid and deny probate after extensive validation efforts by his attorneys.
- This past spring, attorneys Robert Armstrong and Mark Ferrario filed the purported will dated March 13, 2015, which was recently found among Pir Muhammad's belongings and claimed earlier this year by Kashif Singh.
- The court filing argues that a counterfeiting-document expert retained by Richard Hsieh's team found Tony Hsieh's signatures on the purported will fake, while Hsieh's calendars and financial/legal advisers show no evidence of a signing and the five attesting witnesses listed in the document cannot be located.
- The family now controls the estate with Richard Hsieh as court-appointed administrator, while attorneys Robert Armstrong and Mark Ferrario filed a June petition to remove him; a Clark County District Court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
- He died on Nov. 27, 2020, at age 46 in a Connecticut house fire, and the Hsieh family says he left no will despite his prominence as former Zappos CEO who sold it for $1.2 billion.
