Forgery even of a weak signature can be established by handwriting experts and and other surrounding circumstances. Ascertain how many valuable securities, transfers and liabilities are incurred using forged signature, issue notices to all denying liabilities arising out of such forgery and than file criminal complaints for forgery. There are no shortcuts.
Let her publish a Public Notice in local and English language newspapers informing the general public not to deal with her properties inspite of her signature affixed over the documents as it has been forged. Also to inform the concerned financial institutions that she should not be held liable for discharge of outstanding loan, since her signature on the loan documents are forged and she disowns the signature on the documents.
She can lodge a Police complaint against the concerned persons in this regard.
If she believes that her signature has been forged then she can give a complaint to the police and get legal action taken against the mischief mongers as per law.
How did she come to know that her signatures have been forged and even loans were borrowed?
You mean private loan?
How did the lender give loan without seeing her in person.
You are not giving the correct details or facts so that proper advise can be rendered.
There has to be some let out on her side otherwise she cannot be targeted by a third person in the manner what you have described.
However you may have to gather evidences to prove the wrong things have been done against her in order to take any legal action on this subject./
We suspect that the staff from a rural cooperative bank where my friend had an account leaked her details and signature to a private money lender who appears to have forged the signature on a promissory note and other documents. Is it advisable to completely change her signature now at this stage of her life. She is about 35 yrs of age.

People in rural areas also have a simple signature but bank feature didn't happen with everyone.
