    Default Giving my brother advice

    About two years ago, my friend, my brother and I were all in a business venture together. My friend owed my brother some money and wrote him 2 checks for a total of $1100. Well, he's retarded, had a lot of money at the time, and didn't cash the checks. He just found them the other day. An important detail to add is that my "friend" was a fucking bitch who spread rumors about me, told secrets, stole my best friend's boyfriend and her house (long story), laughed about it, and then slashed my best friend's tires. She was a complete bitch to my brother.

    He called me and asked me if he should cash those checks. I told him to go to HER bank (the one that's on the checks) to do it so he could be sure that she had enough money in her account and it wouldn't fuck her over too bad by overdrawing her account. (I was feeling really generous.) His concern is that since we've all had a huge falling out, she would be bitter about the $1100 deduction in her bank account and try to say that he forged those checks or something. That seems highly unlikely, but I do know that she will be pissed when she realizes the money's missing and it's likely that she might have forgotten about those checks or why she even wrote them. Instead of cursing herself for not keeping track of the checks she wrote 2 years ago, she would probably try to fight it in some way. But legally, what could she do?

    I also told him that if he does cash the checks, he should wait a few months before spending the money to make sure she doesn't try to retaliate or say that those are "forged checks." The way I see it, a check is a check. Once you sign your name and give it to someone it's still your responsibility to pay it.

    More info: I live in Oregon, my brother lives in Texas and this girl is living in Hawaii for the summer. I hope to Jesus I never see her again and she probably won't see me, although her parents do live in the same town as my brother and my parents.

    What do you guys think?

    Don't checks have to be dated within 90 days to be valid? Or something like that?

    ...declares that banks may refuse to honor checks dated back six months or more. It's best to cash checks as quickly as possible.

    Edited to add: The money might go through, but if her bank refuses to honor it, they may come after the money.

    It's worth a try--definitely go to her bank, dress very well--like in a suit and tie if he goes. Act confident but not cocky or aggrieved about it. If she tries to say he forged the checks or whatever the burden of proof is upon her, and it would seem like a lot of trouble for 1100$.

    I'd say it's pretty iffy, but well worth a try--and he deserves the money.
