Usually it never is, unless you give written authorization to do so. The lawyer for the party paying the settlement will insist on either the party and the lawyer signing the check or have a written power of attorney from you authorizing the lawyer to sign it. It is important that you accept the check either by signing it or authorizing your lawyer to sign for you.
