Is it possible for me to cash a cheque made out to my deceased father I can show documentation that I'm the next of kin The is under 5k he didn't have a will so does that still call for probate?

No you cannot cash the cheque. You would have to ask the payer to make the cheque payable to the estate of your late father. Say for example you father was Mr. Alfred Barry Charles, the cheque would have to be written in favour of 'The Estate of Mr. Alfred Barry Charles'. You would then need some type of authority from the probate court in order to cash that check.

However, if the person has given a legal power of attorney to another person, that person would also be able to cash the cheque because he is acting on behalf of the person to whom the cheque was given.
