My sister passed away on May 15th, 2001 in Oregon. Before she died I was awarded guardianship by the courts of her two boys and was named as her personal representative in her will. I am now getting child support checks for back support that are written to the estate of my sister. (her name/EST OF) My bank cashed the first one after I showed them the will but after talking to their legal department on the phone would not cash anymore.They told me I have to fill out IRS form SS4 and get an estate tax ID number and then they would open an estate account and then I could cash the support checks and write checks on that account. I was told by the support people that the checks could not be reissued in my name. Is there an easier way.
