Probate question please

What are the options when a beneficiary won’t cash a legacy cheque?

[PallasAthena]

Has the beneficiary said why they haven't cashed it?

Has the beneficiary indicated they are rejecting the legacy and do not want it?

If neither of those might the beneficiary be suffering from some health condition that makes them incapable of cashing it, or they lack mental capacity to know what they should do with the cheque?

Are you an Executor?

Yes I am an Executor.

You make very good points, thank you. I think may be I will have to try and find out what is going on. A bit of a strained family relationship, between the beneficiary and a parent, thank you for your input.

Another thought just crossed my mind, are you cerain the beneficiary has actually received the cheque and it hasn't got lost in the post?

Another very good thought thank you, yes the person has received it in the post, they have returned a signed and dated copy of the letter I enclosed as a receipt. So they definitely have it!
