Cash a check from a person who is now dead?
If the person wrote you check when they were alive and died before you could cash it, you should take it to their bank to see if the account is still open.

How about a railroad pension check directed deposited. he died on the 27 and the check was 4 days away

A check that is older than 90 days (or 180 days depending on the Country) is considered a stale or expired check. It is worthless and carries no value. You cannot cash such a check.
