Hi all, new here. Have a question I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere, can't get to the bank for the next week so I hope I'm in the right place or close enough. My father passed 5 years ago and I was the executor of the estate. He didn't have much just personal stuff left to me and siblings. When I found out a drug was to blame for all his problems I joined a large drug suit that is just settling now 5 years later. The question is they sent a check payable to me, and then it says after that, executor of the estate of, and then his name. My attorney is from another state and says some states require you to open an estate account. Since I settled his estate 5 years ago and there is nothing to pay, can I simply deposit this check in my account? My siblings signed off years ago and wanted nothing to do with this lawsuit so whatever comes my way, after fees and all kinds of other things listed, even the state wants their state aid back, the rest is mine. Since this is payable to me can I simply deposit it? Thanks in advance.
