What is safer a cashiers check or a personal check?
A cashiers check is far safer than a personal check, whether you are the payee or the payor. If you are the payee (the one receiving the check) and receive a personal check that is insufficient, you have very little recourse in obtaining the money owed to you. If you are paid with a cashiers check, it is guaranteed funds, since the bank will only issue the check with available funds (meaning it has to be paid for with cash or purchased at the person's bank, where the bank can verify there are sufficient funds in their account to cover the amount of the check). If you are the payor (the one paying by check), the bank can trace the check for you if the person to whom you were paying loses it or says they never received it. Also, if the check does get lost, it will be far more difficult for someone to forge their signature to it and cash it. Also, a cashiers check does not have as much personal identification on it like a personal check does (address, checking account number, etc.).
Cashing an insurance check payable to another person a federal offense?
Yes. Cashing a check that belongs to someone else and is written to pay someone else is a federal offense. You can be jailed for doing so. Most importantly - the bank will not cash the check because your name and identification wouldn't match the other person. Even if you happen to forge them both, police officers will catch you and force you to return the money to the person to whom the check was issued in the first place and then put you in jail

Is there a way to cash a tax refund check without my ex signing the check since we are divorced and she lives in another state?
This depends on several factors. Did your tax return include a period during the year where you were not yet divorced? Was it a joint return? Is the check made payable to both you and your ex wife? If the answer to any of the above is yes, then no, you cannot cash the check without her endorsing it, too. If you forge her signature (or have someone forge it for you) and cash it, then you will be subject to serious penalty, as will anyone involved in helping forge your ex wife's name.
Do you have to sign your check in front of a cashier when purchasing groceries a store?
While some cashiers might let it slide, many do not. A cashier cannot know all people. Signing a check in front of the cashier at any place (store; bank) connects you in person to your signature, which they then match to the signature on your ID. It is very hard to forge a signature when doing it quickly in front of a cashier. Hint: This practice also protects you! If someone steals a check you already signed, a cashier might mistakenly cash it. If someone steals an unsigned check, they'll have trouble reproducing your exact signature while in a check out.
