I'm not an expert on proper etiquette, but if it were me, I would say, as you know, Uncle Jeebers has passed on. Upon his request, please accept this monetary gift to have and do with as you wish.

Those are separate issues unrelated to each other.\n\nWhen you write a check, you certify that funds are on deposit at the bank to make good on that check.  There should have been money in the account when he signed the check.  If there was not, he committed a crime.  It does not matter what the purpose of the check was.  \n\nThe only exception to this would be if it were written for an illegal purpose (paying a hired killer, or for illegal drugs) or if it were written under duress (such as if someone were holding a gun to your head or holding a family member for ransom.)\n\nLosing your job is not a defense to writing a bad check and will not get you off the hook for doing so.\n\nIf you do not make good on the check immediately, you could be charged with a crime.  Depending upon the amount of the check, this could even be a felony.  \n\nYou need to contact an attorney immediately.

I don't know Oklahoma law, but so long as your aunt is not putting up, as collateral for your loan, any property that she co-owns with your uncle, then my guess that she doesn't need his signature.  However, if she is pledging any co-owned property, then the co-owner will need to sign also.

"Is there a website that shows all the laws?  I need a website that shows the laws about deeds and people signing the deed over to a family member that is a minor since my brother died when I was twelve and he signed all his money to me when he died so than my uncle got a hold of the money somehow and split it amongst are hole family so we got a small small small % of the money :( Is there a law against this? Don't I have my own right to have the money that my dead brother signed over to me?(25,000) dollars? I am only 14 now and need to get like proof and stuff before I do this."\n\nThere is no quick answer to your question.\n\nSome states maintain websites that show all that state's statutes (laws) and they can be found through sites such as the one I listed below in the sources area.  But it would be very difficult for you to research this issue if you haven't had at least a little bit of legal research training.\n\nFirst of all, the modern use of the word "deed" most often refers to the conveyance of title in real property-- land.  If your brother left you $25,000, then he probably did so through a trust or a will-- not a deed.  That means the actual legal document must have existed and you'll need a copy of that before you do anything else.\n\nYou're right to believe that it's your money (if it was left to you via a legally enforceable means as described), but since you aren't yet of the age of majority (18 years old) some adult was in control of that money once it was left to you-- and still is.  \n\nIf it was left through a will without being tied to a "testamentary trust" then your parents should have taken control of the funds, but if you have none living, it could have been a guardian or an adoptive parent or someone else named by a court.  If the money was left through a trust, then it's a trustee who is guided by the written terms of the trust. \n\nSuch adults have a "fiduciary relationship" with you so they have a duty to keep or use the money only for your benefit.  That means that person can use the money to help support you-- even if you'd like them to put it in the bank so you can get it when you're older.\n\nSo get answers to these questions:\n1.  How, exactly, did your brother leave you the money?  (Get a copy of the legal document.)\n2.  Was your uncle the "administrator" (or "executor" or "personal representative"-- names vary by state) of your brother's estate?\n3.  Is your uncle the trustee of a trust that was created by your brother (or created by a court pursuant to probate of your brother's estate)?\n4.  Have you benefited from any type of support from your uncle?\n\n(Also keep in mind that whoever handled your brother's estate was entitled to take a small fee for doing so-- a fee that could have come out of your $25,000.)\n\nBasically, you need more information before you can decide how to recover your money.\n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

It really depends on the laws of your state, but usually what happens when a person dies intestate is that the court appoints an executor who is responsible for liquidating all the assets of the decedent's estate.  Before any friend or family member gets any money or property out of the estate, the executor has to pay for any claims made against the estate.  As a result, whoever pays for the funeral and burial expenses can make a claim against the estate for reimbursement.  In this case, I would strongly advise you against getting involved if you're worried about how you'll be able to pay for it and whether your ex has enough assets to cover the burial/funeral expenses.  Doesn't matter if his brothers and sisters expect you to handle this or not -- you are under NO LEGAL OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to stump up the cash for anything involving your ex.

Your deceased mother's property should be distributed according to her wishes, and those wishes should be spelled out in a will. \n\nHer Texas driver license is not her property. It belongs to the State of Texas, and should be surrendered to the Department of Motor Vehicles, since she is deceased. \n\nThe law addresses the illegal USE of those documents, but mere possession of them as part of estate property should be addressed by the executor of her estate. \n\nAnd, yes, if you're unable to simply ask your aunt for your mother's things, you'd do well to send her a letter asking for them. Remember, however, that while you're her daughter, that your aunt is her sister. Might be a good idea to sit down together and talk about your mother's property.\n\nGood luck.

If htey gave you the house and you are paying the notes, do you have a ocntract with them?  Has it been transferred to your name?  These are things you need to check out.  Sounds like they still own the house, and if so I would take my 842.00 and go elsewhere to live or have to put up with controlling in-laws and a nosey sister-in-law.

They need to confirm the bank number and account number. You just write VOID in BIG LETTERS on the check so no one else can use it. It's not a big deal. Good Luck! And make sure you enter it in your register as voided.

First, I would scan it and keep an electronic copy online. Then I would either frame it (if I want to look at it) or put it in a safe deposit box at a bank (if you want it to be completely safe).

Ask an attorney, you don't want to do anything illegal and then get the shaft in the end. I thought that he could write a will and sign his money over to you, that way it's not in his name. Or, you can use it to pay his hospice nurses. But most importantly I would ask a lawyer

You can deposit it through your bank's ATM, provided that they offer that service.  However, you may be delaying funds for longer that "normal", depending on your bank's balancing proceedures.\nYour better bet is to drop the check (in an envelope) in the night depository.\nJust make sure, no matter you choose, that you sign the money order, write your account on the item and include a note/deposit slip instructing what you wish to be done with the funds.

transfer it out of her name - such as into a relative's name (and, more importantly, social security number). then have this relative slowly trickle the money down to her when she needs it.  "relative" being anybody not in the immediate family that filed for bankrupcy.  it could be a close personal friend, it doesn't have to be a relative by blood or marriage.

Well, if you would like to consider regular post via airmail here's what you do: make sure that you put the money (paper bills $) inside a carbon paper so that who ever will check to see if there's money inside won't see anything except for the paper which you used for your letter. We do this all the time :-)

You would want to send it Certified return receipt, meaning that the person at the other end has to sign for it to get it, and you get the receipt with their signature on it as proof they received it.  I would also photocopy the check and whatever documents you are going to send, before sending them, so if there are any problems later, you have photocopies of everything!

Be very careful. I've been there, done that. It does not pay. Tell friend to go to an aunt or grandparent, you would get in so much trouble for harboring her.  Take care
