My family has a large amount of money in an overseas account, and I'm considering using a fake identity to open a bank account and transfer the money to avoid taxes. Is it legal?

Using a false identity to open a bank account and transfer money is illegal and you could be liable for prosecution. It is never a good idea to try and bypass taxes in this manner as the penalties for being caught can be severe. It may be wiser to explore other legal options such as consulting with a tax lawyer or accountant to find out ways you can reduce your tax liability within the boundaries of the law.
