Peter Howes, 53, (pictured with his wife Jane) has been found guilty of cheating his brother out of a £1.5million inheritance A jealous son has been found guilty of faking his family member's signatures to cheat his older brother out of a £1.5million inheritance - because he was fed up with him being the 'favourite'. Peter Howes, 53, resented his brother Jonathan moving to Hong Kong and then Singapore - leaving him to look after their ailing mother - so he siphoned off cash from their parents' estate. Howes, as an executor to a number of trusts and settlements, wound them up by forging the signatures of his mother Joyce, or 55-year-old brother Jonathan.
