December 18, 2024Lance from FL Verified Squaremouth CustomerWas this review helpful to you?I understand policy.
Kent passed away, and we filed a claim which was paid promptly, but the check was made out to the “estate of Kent Peterson” I tried to get it changed to the name of the executor but they couldn’t change it. An estate account is only valid in probate of which there was none on Kent’s estate. It is not possible to set up an estate account after the fact so check can not be cashed or deposited.
