The bank will not accept a check made out to &amp;quot;Estate of&amp;quot; since there is no account with that wording. We have POA and are well under the limit for probate. If it were simply made out the the deceased, no problem. Can we get a check simply made out to the deceased?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Estate Checks</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/thread/162?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:12:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:da459a62-1875-4036-b799-33c7b45dec8c</guid><dc:creator>BCBSIL Connect Team</dc:creator><description>Hello, First let me say I&amp;#39;m very sorry to hear about your father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Checks issued to a member who has passed away must be issued to the estate of that individual. We cannot issue the check to another individual. Your mother can check with her bank to see what she needs to do for them to be able to cash this check for her. ~ Kayla&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
