RICHMOND COUNTY, N.C. — An attorney in Rockingham is facing federal charges for falsely verifying a will.
Last August, Joseph Altman told the State Insurance Department that three witnesses were there when he got a will notarized for a man who died from an illness a few days later.
However, investigators said those three witnesses were not actually there.
Altman is set to face a judge next month.
