If it is a governmental check, she needs to sign, or endorse, the check. As long as you are not taking money from the deposit of the check, you should be able to deposit it at the bank.

You can deposit money into anyones account with the account number and branch (the info can be provided on a blank cheque).

Why are you asked your mothers maiden name when you open a bank account?

When opening a bank account, you are often asked for your mother's maiden name as a security measure. It serves as a form of identity verification to help confirm your identity and protect against fraud. This information is commonly used in security questions for account recovery and ensures that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information.


Can a minor account holder open a FD?

Can I as executor and having joint account with my mother write checks to my siblings without a lawyer since my mother lives with me and has no debts?

Your status as executor has no bearing as to whether you have access to your mother's finances while she is living. Additionally, whether you live with your mother or whether she has debts or not has no bearing as to whether you have access to her finances. What you need is a power of attorney. That being said, if you are also named on your mother's bank account as an account owner, then you have full access to write checks on that account just like she does. Be careful that you are not listed as TOD (Transfer on Death) or POD (Pay on Death) though instead of an actual account owner. Those who are listed as TOD or POD have no right to the account funds until the account owner dies.

You were an authorized user on your mothers account not a card holder and after her bankruptcy a collection agency is harassing you?

If you are an authorized user then it is not your debt but your mother's debt. Your mother's bankruptcy discharged (wiped out) the debt in question. The collection agency is not allowed to collect from you as, again, it is not your debt. This would not be the case if you were a joint debtor with your mother.

Is a surviving spouse in Pennsylvania responsible for repayment of a credit card debt when his deceased wife was the authorized user on an account that was held by her deceased mother?

No. Only the account holder is responsible for repayment of debt incurred on a credit card. An authorized user is not responsible for repayment, but in this case if the now deceased AU continued to use the account after the death of her mother (the account holder), the AU's estate might be responsible for any charges made under such circumstances. In any event, the surviving spouse is NOT responsible to repay the CC debt.

You need to pay the tax money your mother owes the government


How do you put your money order in your mother's checking account?

Money orders are a major source of fraudulent transactions, so you may find that your mother's bank will not allow you to deposit a money order made payable to you into her checking account. You should ask the bank if they will allow it and what requirements they have if they do allow it. They will likely request that both you and your mother be present, sign the check in front of the teller, and provide photo ID. If the money order is still blank on the front (i.e. no name is written in the "pay to the order of:" line), you can simplify things by making it payable to your mother and allowing her to sign and deposit it.

Your mother died and left her daughter a joint account can anyone draw money out of that account?

No. As with any bank account only the account owner can withdraw money from the account. If the mother set up the account as a joint account with her daughter (with both mother's and daughter's name on the account as joint owners) the full ownership of the account passed to the daughter when the mother died. No one else can make withdrawals.

If there was a joint account between a daughter and mother and mother died can the daughter continue using the mothers separate and sole account at the same bank?

If mother and daughter have a joint account together and mother dies the daughter can continue to use the account or close it and reopen it in her own name. The daughter should be careful to account for any interest on her tax return. If mother also had a separate account at the same bank, the daughter has no right to use that separate account. That account should pass by will or by intestacy if there was no will.
