The $279 isn't important in the general scheme of things but since I was the POA on the account they keep sending me statements and it is annoying to keep seeing the bank has "his" $279. I tried writing a check but that didn't work. Any way to get his $279 that BOA is holding onto without spending $300 ??? |
I had a similar situation when I was the executor for a deceased friend. I received a small insurance refund check made out to "the estate of" the deceased person. I tried to cash the check, but my bank would not accept the unprobated will as proof that I was the executor. So, I signed the check and deposited it at the ATM machine with no problem. I would suggest that you write another check and try to deposit it electronically. In fact, I might try it several times.
