Hello,
My girl friend is in a tough situation and has no idea what to do.
Here's the story.
Her mom is an elderly with Alzheimer's, living at a caregiver home.
One of the caregiver did some horrible thing to her, which that person got arrested and jailed.
My girl friend sued the home and won the case, settled outside of court.
Her lawyer took 40% and left my girl friend with a check with the remainder.
The check is under my girl friend's mom's name, with my girl friend as a guardian.
The lawyer no longer response to my girl friend asking how to cash the check.
The question is, can she cash the check and use it?
She is listed as guardianship for her mom, signing all papers and makes all the decisions for the past eight years or so.
We are in the state of Washington.
Thanks,
