Received a check don’t know what to do?
Posted by admin on Jun 3, 2010
Hello, everyone so this is the situation, i just checked my mail and received a check in the mail from a law firm for a Asbestos Settlement. The problem is that it has my mothers name on it, and due to her bad drug habit i have no idea where she is.(i havent seen her in 2 years) it has my deceased grandfathers name in the letter. im guessing that it was his case that he settled. im unsure of what to do with this check? please help
If there is an account with your name AND your mothers name you can write "for deposit only" on the back of it and deposit it into that account. Or try the night drop deposit idea. If the check isn’t for that much it might get by them.
You can’t do anything with it. It is your mother’s check, not yours.

You should talk to a lawyer about the cheque and see what can be done about it.

Well, you can’t cash the check, but I would contact the law firm. Considering your mums situation you may be entitled to the money.

If it is for a significant amount of money, I would open up a separate savings account and ask the bank to make the name on the account as your name for the benefit of mom’s name, and then deposit the check into that account. If you know of anyone who might know where she is, ask them to let her know she has mail at your house.
