Asked on Dec 13th, 2016 on Civil Litigation - New York
More details to this question:
After father died in 9/2010, I found investment account with father's and sibling name. his will was destroyed. After inquiries, in 2011 learned the account was opened online with incorrect information and father's signature was a copy. Sibling fraudulently added his name and immediately transferred account into only his name. In 2012 received further evidence of fraud after hiring attorney for representation in surrogate court. When deposed in 12/15 sibling submitted more evidence of fraud because father's signatures did not match. When does the six year limitation begin? can I now go into civil court on fraud charges?.

It depends on who is the fiduciary of the estate, who has the money and what you would have gotten in any event.  Your post is too unclear.  If the estate is open it might be a turnover proceeding and would be timely.
