Legal Question

[Sirrahsim]

I can go to the legal office here on base and ask them. I'll try to do that tomorrow and/or call this law office and tell them that we'll sign the form once we actually have the check.

Sign it, it is totally 'legit', and done all the time this way. The executor of the estate needs a receipt of all moneys disbursed. You can imagine how many people 'forget' to sign the receipt once the check is sent.

If you think about it, most things require a signature first, then the presentment of the check. Personal injury cases always get signatures first before disbursement. You finance a house...signing the mortgage first, then the loan funds, etc.

Course, this is just my opinion, and we don't have a legal relationship, and you should always consult with an attorney in your state, etc.

I was aministrator on my brothers estate and did not do that.

How did this ever work out?
