As with most things, you do the right thing. If you are entitled to the money, keep it. If you received the money in error, return it.

As a Franchise Attorney I basically agree with the other attorney answer. However you didn't mention the facts and circumstances surrounding the check you received. This may alter the analysis. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
