I had this happen and told the person to deposit the check with the court
registry.  Then, your client can fill out a form to get the monies because
the estate is closed.  My client was the former PR.  It worked for us and
the check was $80 so not worth reopening the estate.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Small payment arrives after probate is closed

Hello listmates,

Does anyone have thoughts on advising clients on what to do when a random
payment to the decedent arrives after the estate is closed?  The Small
Estate Affidavit would not work because several of the required statements
are incorrect (a PR was appointed, the estate was greater than $100k).

In my case the check is very small.  Should I just tell the client to forget
about it?

Thanks in advance,

Sara Longley
