Yes, but it needs to be in the name of the person on the check and since it is post dated there could be a reason. Usually, a person writes a check like that because the money is not in the account yet.
No, a check dated in the future is a post dated check. Banks won't knowingly cash a post dated check.
Yes, or you can deposit it in an ATM machine.
Most banks and check cashing services will not cash "post-dated" checks until the date comes due on the date of the check. However, legally, some jurisdictions have laws that allow the negotiation of post-dated checks under the premise that the payee should be able to collect immediately when given a check.
In New Jersey, you can cash a post-dated check before the date written on it, but the bank is not legally obligated to honor it until that date arrives. If you attempt to cash it early, the bank may choose to process it or reject it based on their policies. It's generally advisable to wait until the date specified on the check to avoid potential issues. Always check with your bank for their specific practices regarding post-dated checks.
Postdating is to put a date on the check for some time in the future, not the current date. Technically a check is a contract, so if a person took a check into the bank and it was dated for tomorrow, they could not cash it.
It's a check made out with a future date so you can't cash it yet.
Post date a check means that you write a check on a day and mention the date of a future day in the check. i.e., let's say I give you a check today 22 January 2011 and write the check date as 15 February 2011. This is post dating a check. This means that you cannot cash the check until 15th February 2011 and until then the check is of no value. Post Dated checks are perfectly legal as long as the person who receives the check does not cash it before its due date. Please note: If you send a post dated check in to ,say your mortgage company!! They are NOT going to look at the date! They will send it on to the bank, If it is early..... it will be sent back as non sufficient. This can cause a lot of issues. None of this is answering the question as to what is the law!! I WILL be learning this today and will answer here again.
Yes, you can write "do not cash before" followed by a specific date on a post-dated check. This indicates that the check should not be cashed or deposited until that date. However, it's important to note that this instruction is not legally binding; banks may still process the check before the specified date. To avoid issues, it's best to communicate with the recipient about the intended timing.
The date the check can be cashed . For example I wrote ( 5 ) post dated checks last winter to a company that handles my snow removal of my residence Each check was dated the last day of the month . ( November / December / January / February / and March ) That way the company could cash the checks at the end of each month if I went somewhere warmer for the winter
I cant share about every bank but i know that is a post dated check is presented at the bank i work at we will not honor it. That said, if a post dated check is dropped in the night deposit or ATM machine we really have no choice but to process it. It is technically illegal to write a post dated check.
No. Writing a post dated check in Pennsylvania is perfectly legal as long as the person to whom you give the check does not submit it for cashing before the date you put on your check. For that matter, it is not illegal to write a post dated check in any country
