WEBINAR DETAILS
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 negotiable instruments. You will not want to miss this webinar!
