In theory, the estate's account cannot be "closed" until all assets are distributed, even though it may take years to track down beneficiaries and deliver the checks. Because the value is still "in the estate", the check on the closed bank should be exchanged for a valid one on another estate account, perhaps opened for the specific purpose of the final disposition. The executor/administrator may be personally liable for the amount of the check if the estate can't seem to find it.
An uncashed cashier's check is typically owned by the individual or entity to whom the check was issued. The issuing bank holds the funds and is responsible for the check until it is cashed or expires. If the check remains uncashed for an extended period, the bank may be required to follow state laws regarding unclaimed property. Ultimately, the rightful owner retains the claim to the funds represented by the check.
An uncashed check usually says to cash within 30-90 days. After that time, a bank does not have to honor it. However, it can choose to do so.
If you have an uncashed treasurer's check, first verify its status by contacting the issuing agency or bank to confirm that it is still valid. If it has expired, you may need to request a replacement check. Keep in mind that there may be specific procedures or forms required for this process. Additionally, it's wise to check for any applicable deadlines related to uncashed checks in your jurisdiction.
No, the account is closed.

Writing a check on a closed bank account in Michigan is considered a felony offense. A person may be sentenced to up to 2 years in prison and/or $500 in fines.
I went to my bank to get check to pay my rent for the month. The bank accidentally gave me a check from an account which was closed over 5 years ago instead of my active account. I didn't notice the account number on the check. So I used that check to pay the rent, but the check bounced because it was from a closed account. Now the apartment company billed me $140 because of the bounced check. Should the bank have to cover that $140 bill because they are the one's that made the mistake with the check?
You cannot access a closed bank account. Only the bank and the law enforcement authorities of a country have access to closed bank accounts.
Yes. Writing a check on a checking account that is closed/inactive is a crime. Customers are not supposed to do that and if they do, the bank can report it and take legal action against the offending customer. The customer can be fined or jailed for doing so.
