[WSBAPT] stimulus check made to deceased

[Jamia Burns]

The IRS issued notice last week that all stimulus checks or deposits made
to deceased person's must be returned to the IRS. Instructions for
returning the money are available on the IRS website at irs.gov. I have
sent notice to all of my probate clients to be on the lookout for the
deposit and to return it immediately.
