Understanding endorsements and checks is crucial to making sound check-cashing decisions. This program will look at who has the right to endorse a check and the proper placement. What happens if a check is not endorsed properly? When is it best not to accept a check at all due to missing or problem endorsements? Why can’t business checks be put into personal accounts? Why is “less cash” not given on business accounts? Many tricky issues will be discussed, such as deceased accountholders, business accounts, endorsements for minors, income tax check endorsements, trustee endorsements, and endorsements by powers of attorney. Join us to learn the safe way to handle checks and ensure that you and your financial institution can be protected from loss on the negotiable instruments. You will not want to miss this webinar!
