How to cash a Estate check

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your grandmother lived and died.  Since the check is to the estate, not to you, you must open a formal probate (proving) of her estate by filing an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration or, depending on the amount in her estate, a Small Estate Affidavit.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
That depends on the court. In larger counties (Dallas, Tarrant, Harris), where there are statutory probate courts, the courts have more staff and resources and the court administrator or other staff may provide instruction. It is ultimately your responsibility to know your duties and your attorney should be your first resource on that. Your first responsibility is going to be to file an Inventory and Appraisement of the estate, which is due 90 days from when you receive letters of administration.
