If you have your letter of authorization, it shouldn't be an issue. The letter is issued by the probate court. The estate should establish a bank account. It will require a tax ID as well.
You may cash the check only if you are the duly appointed fiducuary for the estate. Otherwise you have no legal authority to cash the check.
You cannot cash such a check unless you have been duly appointed by the court as the Executor or Administrator of the estate.
Yes. If you are the duly appointed estate fiduciary.
Open an estate to handle the assets. The executor, appointed by the court, can cash the check.
No
Nope, has to be deposited to an estate account. You can then go ahead and write a check to yourself from the estate account.... assuming you are the executor and have the authority to do so.

An estate has to be opened for your deceased daughter. That check will be deposited into the estate account. You need to consult an attorney about an estate if you haven't do so already.
No. The name written in a check must match the identity card you have or the name that is available in your valid bank account. If they don't match, the bank will not cash the check.
An inclearing check is a check written to someone that they cash or deposit.
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.
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.
No. Take the check to the bank that it is written on. Some banks will charge you a fee for cashing the check if you don't have an account with the bank, but they will cash the check.
