Unique Green, formerly known as Michael Green, is charged with theft of more than $300,000, forgery, and tampering with a government record.
Court records accuse Green of stealing the more than $2 million estate of a man named Lawrence Gammon after he died. His family told investigators they called Green's funeral home, A Community Funeral Home, to handle his after-death care.
Documents accuse Green of later forging a will on the man's behalf and stealing his estate, including his home, cars and investment accounts.
Eyewitness News found a will filed in Harris County months after the man died, saying that he left "my entire estate to my long-term partner and common law spouse, Unique M. Green, in recognition of her unwavering love, devotion and support."
The man's family told investigators they had never heard of Green until they contacted her for funeral services.
Photos obtained by 13 Investigates show a person who appears to be Green and a crew of people outside of the deceased man's home with a dumpster, cleaning it out after he died.
Green is also accused of forging documents to obtain a funeral director and embalmer license. Attached to the charging documents are documents investigators say Green submitted to the Texas Funeral Commission, including what appears to be a letter of recommendation from the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, which Green allegedly served.
Investigators note in court records that Green did not serve in the Armed Forces.

Green appeared before Judge Hazel B. Jones on Friday for the first time.
As part of her bond conditions, she is not allowed to plan any end-of-life services or have any affiliation with an entity that performs end-of-life services. Green and her attorney asked the judge to amend that condition.
The prosecutor assigned to the case said that was the "crux" of the case. When the judge asked the prosecutor if Green was accused of stealing from only one person, the prosecutor replied, "So far."
Ultimately, Judge Jones denied Green's request to amend her bond conditions.
After the hearing concluded, 13 Investigates reporter Mycah Hatfield followed Green to the elevator and asked about the allegations.
Originally, Green said, "I'm on the news. I'm a celebrity," as she faced cameras outside the courtroom.
When asked if she knew Gammon, Green said, "I don't have nothing to say. Get out of my face."
Green would not answer how she was able to post an $800,000 bond.
Currently, Green is assigned public defender Gilbert Villareal, which indicates she is indigent. Villareal told Judge Jones that Green told him she hired an attorney. Green told the judge her hired attorney was not at the court hearing today because he was in Dallas.
"Did you forge those documents?" Mycah asked Green as she walked to the elevator.
"Did your mother forge them?" Green asked in return. "Maybe your mom forged them."
"Where did the bucket of organs come from?" Mycah asked Green as she got on the elevator.
"They were for you to eat for lunch, you stupid (expletive)," Green said in response as the elevator door closed.
Green is due back in court in September.
