Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
How to cash or deposit Insurance Checks made out to the deceased person.
We have several checks made out to my mother in law but my father in law says the back will not take them. How do we get these checks cashed or deposited.

You will need to either have the estate administered or the Will probated, if there is one. You can try this yourself, but I would advise you to consult with a local attorney.
