Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado

Re: Check Endorsement for deceased person

Typically, you would endorce the check as the Personal Representative and deposit it into the account for the estate.

You should no longer use the account that was used by the decedent prior to death. You should also engage a qualified estate attorney to assist you in obtaining an EIN for the estate and to determine whether you need to open the estate for estate administration.

Federal Regulations require us to advise you that no portion of this communication can be used nor is intended to be used in any manner to avoid or attempt to avoid any penalties.
