“When a document’s authenticity is challenged, particularly concerning handwriting, the modern judicial approach favors the inclusion of expert testimony over lay opinions. This reliance on experts is informed by advancements in scientific methods that enhance the accuracy of handwriting analysis, thus reducing the margin of error in judicial decisions. The exclusion of such expert evidence, especially when such testimony could directly address critical aspects of the case, can be detrimental to the party bearing the burden of proof.”,
