Nymets1986 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Does anyone know what I do with checks made payable to the estate? My husband died without a will and under statutory law everything would pass to me according to state law (I am in NY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelerswife Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm no expert in any of this, but I suggest you consult an attorney who practices in estate law. Your husband's estate may have expenses that would need to be paid before you can claim any of the money. Better to ask than to get yourself in hot water? Best wishes, Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpico Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If it's not a large amount I would take it to your bank and see if they'll just allow you to deposit it into your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymets1986 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 This would potentially be his Christmas bonus check, his supervisors came to visit today and they said he might still get one. Usually the check is between $500-$1000. I did receive new insurance cards with estate of LH's name on them as I thought his health insurance Only ran until the end of last month, as he passed November 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
