To constitute forgery

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To constitute forgery, the change must be to a material part of the document. This means that the alteration must be to a significant part of the document, such as the signature, date or amount, and must have the potential to change the legal effect of the document. The other options are incorrect because forgery can apply to both tangible and intangible property, financial value is not always necessary, and the crime does not necessarily have to result in the gain of something of value; the act of forging the document itself is illegal.
