If someone tries to cash a check you wrote for an amount higher than your current balance, the check will bounce. In this case, you will be charged a fee and the payee might get charged a fee as well. Try to put cash into your account before the person cashes the check.

The money belongs to the person to whom the Cash was paid to. For ex: let us say I issue a check for USD 500 to you and you deposit it with your bank. Once the bank credits the money into your account, you own the 500 dollars. Similarly, the person who got the check cashed is the owner of the money after it is cashed.
It Depends,, was the check written to you? If so then you have the right to negotiate it. If it's not your check then that might be a matter for law Enforcement. Obviously you can not cash a check with a blocked deposit account.
The account holder does not need to be present when the check is cashed.
It means whoever you wrote the check to cashed it inside a bank. The person cashing the check had the amount in his/her account to cover it and didn't deposit it waiting for it to clear.
Not necessarily ... the check may not have been cashed as it may have gotten lost. You need to check with the party to whom you sent it ... ask for written certification that they indeed received it and marked your account "paid in full".
The definition of a first party check is a check written directly to another person. They are then cashed or deposited by that person.
Technically the money is not in their pocket. The check must be deposited or cashed by the person it is written out to, or otherwise endorsed. If the payee does not cash or deposit the check, they cannot give it out like bills of currency. When the check is deposited, the money is taken out of the check writer's account and deposited to the person it is written out to. If you cash it instead, the institution gives you their money and takes money out of the check writer's account.
If you have a bank account and are trying to deposit a check, you will have to sign the back of that check. If the back is not signed, it cannot be deposited or cashed.
Deposit it in your bank account, there will be no fee. If you don't have a bank account, you can open one with the IRS check!
No. first of all, a check can be deposited into the bank account of the person to whom the check has been written to. Second of all, even if the bank teller accepts the check by mistake, it will not be cashed. The check will be returned and no money will be paid. Moreover, if the owner of the check complains that his/her check was lost or stolen, you will be caught and jailed for it. Depositing someone else's check into your account is a crime.
