If you are the maker of the check - that is, the person who is writing the check to pay someone else - you should sign on the front of the check and NOT on the back. The back of the check is for the payee's endorsement. The front of the check has a signature line for the maker to sign.

A cashier's check is not a cancelled check unless it has been cashed. A cancelled check is one that has already been cashed. Once you cash a cashier's check, the bank keeps it and you don't get it back. If you write a personal check, once it is cashed, that check will come back to you in your statement as the physical item which will be a cancelled check - or you will get an image of the cancelled check.

Does chase bank refund money from a stolen check?

This actually just happened to me recently. Chase will not refund your check unless they get the actual money back from the bank that the check was cashed at. Basically you have to present proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the check that you originally wrote it to is indeed the payee and not the person who stole it. This may include a carbon copy of the check you originally wrote. For my case I had a letter notarized saying the individual who stole my check did not work for the company that I wrote it to and I also presented previous checks written to prove that the check was altered.
