No. you cannot do that. A check can be deposited only into the account of the person to whom the check is issued as payee. If you try to do this, it will be considered an illegal activity and you can be jailed for forgery. However, if you have a power of attorney from the other person to whom the check is issued, then you can do it.

A check is a negotiable instrument.

You obviously cannot just take it from who was to receive it and deposit it. That is criminal.

However, the person/company to who it was made out may endorse it (either fully opne so anyone can do with it what they want) or specifically (as in too someone or place), and then it can be further negotiated. That is frequently calleda 3rd party check....and it is not uncommon that a check will end up with many endorsements (and be a many party check) as it moves through the banking system.
