Your Legal Questions Answered
A family member has recently passed away, and has an estate trust in another state. After the death, the spouse of the deceased deposited a large check made out only to the deceased. Is this fraud? Should the check have gone back to the estate?
Yes - Likely the check was the property of the estate. If you are a beneficiary of the estate you should contact an attorney to assist you in ensuring that the assets of the estate are properly accounted for.
