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.
