Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Iowa
I received my last check from an estate after they did taxes in July. I thought i lost the check but found it and cashed it in November. Cashed it and the account was closed. My bank account was charged 19 dollars since the check bounced. Granted it was around 100 dollars but the lawyer said they will not give me the money. Isn't the lawyer getting paid to distribute the money? Am I still entitled to that money? How do i get that money when the lawyer said they refuse to pay me it? Will they also pay my 19 dollar bounced check fee? Thanks.

The answer is you waited too long to cash the check and the probate account was closed.
