I'm asking this question for my mom because she's paranoid about depositing a check that is written out to my dad, but he died 2 years ago. It's a deposit from AT&T because I have recently switched phone companies and my mom never switched the name because the phone company kept saying it didn't matter as long as someone paid the bill.

If she still has a joint account she can endorse the check "For deposit only", otherwise she should sign his name, initial it, then sign below. The bank should accept it if she deposits it into her own account.
AT&T sent the check to the person who was on their records as being the customer, since that person is no longer around, the "customer" is now your mom.

You need to contact A,T&T and tell them that dad has died and get the check cancelled and payment made out in yours or Moms name, thats better. When a person dies all records are amended to show that is the case, so no, dont deposit the check/cheque.

If you are entititled to the money, deposit the cheque. Who is going to say that you can't have it???
