Mother....

[Gunner Rodgers]

Mother, God bless her, has recieved a cheque made payable to her and crossed A.C. PAYEE.

The cheque is with an accompanying letter stating that it is in setlement of her sisters estate.

Mother is blind, has no intention of depositing the cheque in a bank for various reasons, and is very, very old.

She has given the cheque to me and told me to do with it as I will.

My question to you good people, is how can I cash this cheque?

I know my bank will only accept deposits made payable to me for security reasons..........




Hello everybody I haven't seen for a long time, including you KenDodd

Please help won't you

Zamzim, a new bike could be in the bag here, and you are joshing me


You are yanking my chain


You are rinsing my bowl


I should have known it

Pay it into her a/c and then get her to transfer the money to you by cheque or internet.

Heh Gun'lad - are you thru' with all those north:yorks babes with that elbow technique yet

:Hows the good lady BTW !

 

[Gunner Rodgers]

Yankers, as you well know......so many birds, so little time


Are me and you still on for that pint some time, and I'll show you how it's done


My Mother will not pay the cheque into a bank account.

Evening gunner!

I don't know from personal experience or anything, but I'm thinking:

Could you get in touch with the solicitors who issued the cheque and get it reissued to you? (I guess you'd need some evidence of your Mum's wishes)

Can you explain to your bank and get round the security issue? (ditto about needing evidence I guess...)

Is it appropriate to look at power of attourney or something? I guess a legal bod will know the implications better. I guess it all hinges on your Mum's legal capacity, aand is maybe a step to far - it sounds like she's sound of mind, just doesn't need the money.

Otherwise, I guess it will have to go into an account with her name, and then be passed to you.. [edit, just seen your post above, so that's a no go..]

Good luck with it all!

No, you pay it in for her

Pay the cheque into your mother's account for her, then she can transfer it to you. I believe banks have measures to help blind people do their banking business.

Isn't that what I said?

You're going to have a lot of trouble because what you want to do is exactly what a crossed cheque is designed to prevent!

As others have said she will either need to give written instruction to the solicitor to re-issue or it will need to go into her account and bank/b/s or she will need to write you a cheque. Given some of the difficulties she may experience generally regarding financial stuff for the future you may like to think about a power of attorney where she allows someone generally to act on her behalf.

Tell her to do what you want or you'll stop eating your greens.

Mother will not pay the cheque into a bank account, full stop.
I will not go into the reasons, there is no need.

A colleague has said that I should take it to a establishment that cashes 3rd party cheques, for a small commission.

Other than say this, he knows nothing else about the matter and what that would achieve.

Is he on to something?

OR NOT!!!!!!!



I thank you, I thank you all

 

[Willow]

sounds like the best bet is to go back to the solicitor
