My deceased father received a small cheque as final payment from shares bought years ago. The cheque is made out to him and is account payee only. I have a oopy of the death cert. Just wondering is it as easy as writing a letter back with a copy of the death certificate and asking them to re-issue the cheque to my mother, his next of kin ? The cheque is only for €40 so is it worth doing at all ? Would the bank accept the cheque into my mothers account if the death certificate was shown to them ?
