Generally, you cannot cash a check made out to a deceased person, even with "OAO" (which typically stands for "on account of") written on it. You would need to go through the estate settlement process, which may involve presenting the check to the executor of your mother's estate or the probate court for appropriate handling. It's best to consult with a legal professional or your bank for guidance on the specific circumstances.

I have no bank account to cash refund check can i use my mothers bank account?

You can cash it into your mothers account, and then wait for it to clear (3 business days) then withdraw that amount. Or, if your mother has the amount on the check in her account, you can ask her to withdraw that amount at the time you put in the check. In either case, you would have to endorse the check on the back, and then write (below your signature) "Pay to the Order of" and your mothers name on the line below that. When your mother goes to put it on her account, she would endorse it below that. So you would have 4 lines on the back of your check in the end. 1. Your Signature; 2. Pay to the Order of; 3. Your mother's name; 4. Your mother's signature.

How does an adult child deposit a check made out to a deceased parent into a shared checking account?

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.
