Does there have to be an estate open to receive the insurance check ?

If you are looking to recieve the insurance check and are wondering if you have to have an estate open in order to receive it your answer is here. The thing is you do not have to have an estate open to receive an insurance check if you are a critical thinker. You need one way or another to get the insurance check, so if you have a P.O. Box that is set up or maybe a friend that you can have it mailed to, there is no reason you won't receive the insurance check.


What is the difference between a money order and cashiers check?

Certified checks are rarely used in today's banking world. They formerly signified that a bank was certifying that the funds represented by the customer's check were actually in the account. They are so uncommon that I've had a handful of bankers call me over the last ten years asking about the procedure for creating a certified check! They had never had the occasion to certify one before. A cashier's check is a check drawn by a bank on an account maintained at the same bank. A money order can be a one-shot checking account, or can be the equivalent of a cashier's check, depending on how it is made up, who the drawer is, what it is drawn on.

What is the reason to never write a check with cash in the pay to order of line?

It is not a good idea to write a check with "Cash" as the payee because if you or the payee lose the check, anyone could pick it up and cash it, and the bank would not be responsible for the lost funds, since making a check payable to "Cash" essentially allows anyone holding the check to cash it.
