Nancy Williams, 64, “was responsible for distributing the assets of the estate to the beneficiary,” Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes said.
“Instead, Williams illegally took the assets of the estate and converted the assets to her own use” for two years, beginning in August 2016, Valdes said.
Members of her Financial Crimes Unit charged Williams with theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, misapplication of entrusted property and money laundering.
She remained free pending court action.
