How do you prove you are the executor of estate and need to cash an insurance refund check?
When you were appointed the executor the court issued "Letters Testamentary" in your name. That is your legal authority to represent the estate and sign any checks made payable to the estate or to the decedent. You should bring a copy to the bank where the decedent had their account and speak to the manager about cashing the check. The bank may put a hold on the funds until the check clears. Once you are certain there will be no more checks issued to the estate you can then close the account. If the decedent had no bank account then you should seek advice from the attorney who is handling the estate. If you do not have "letters Testamentary" then you are not the duly appointed executor and have no right nor authority to cash the check.
Can you cash an alimony check that is made out to your deceased wife if your name is on the check next to re?
Whether or not you would be able to cash the check depends on the exact wording of the pay to the order of line. If it reads "Pay to the order of your wife re: you" you will likely not be able to cash it. Instead, the check should be reissued in the name of your wife's estate and be negotiated by the executor of the estate. If there is not a executor, an attorney can help you determine how to navigate estate laws in your area. But, if the check says "Pay to the order of your wife OR you" or if it says "Pay to the order of your wife" on one line and then your name on the next line, you may be able to cash it, since it is technically payable to either your wife or you.
How can a check made out to the decedent's estate be cashed?
A check made payable to the estate of a deceased person can be a problem. Legally, it must be cashed by the court appointed estate representative, i.e., the executor or administrator. If there is no other property owned by the decedent and no probate was filed, and if the decedent owned a joint bank account with another person, the bank may allow the check to be deposited in that account. However, if that doesn't work then a probate will need to be filed to establish the identity of the person who can legally cash the check.
