[WSBAPT] Post-Probate Check

[Amy Goertz]

Good Morning, 

My former client, who was the PR of his father’s estate, has received a check made payable to the Estate more than a year after the probate ended.

The probate was closed with a Declaration of Completion and the estate account was closed.

Wells Fargo is asking for a Court Order that states he is entitled to receive funds or assets after the probate.

Does anyone have any ideas for language or anything short of re-opening the estate to resolve this with the bank and/or get the check cashed?

Amy
