Monmouth County prosecutors say 62-year-old John Hamill, of Jersey City, faces two counts each of misapplication of entrusted property and theft by failure to make a required disposition. The indictment recently handed up by a county grand jury was made public Monday.
Hamill was arrested in October after an investigation revealed he stole about $469,544 from the estates of an aunt and a cousin where he was named executor. Hamill remains jailed in lieu of $200,000 cash bail, and it wasn't known Monday if he has retained a lawyer.
He could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
