To a certain extent, it depends what the check was for. If it is a check which was properly payable to your father only, then it is the property of his estate. That means you need to open up a probate with the court to determine how those funds will be allocated. I recommend sitting down with an attorney to go over the specifics and advise you.
Best of luck.
