How does an adult child deposit a check made out to a deceased parent into a shared checking account?

In most countries you can not do this because it is not legal to cash a check made out to a deceased person. What needs to be done is that the executor of the deceased estate must obtain from a court a grant of probate for the deceased estate and, with is legal document, write to the supplier of the check and ask them to re-issue the check in the name of the deceased heirs.

Cashing a check made to estate of a brother-in-law Calif?

First, if the decedent had a joint bank account with another party the joint owner should ask the bank if it will allow the check to be deposited in that account. If that is not possible then you will need to obtain some authority from the probate court to cash the check as the administrator of the estate. You should speak to a clerk at the probate court to determine if there is a shortened, small estate probate procedure that can be used to obtain the 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.
