You may need to file paperwork with the probate court to get the authority to act on behalf of your father's estate. Was there a probate estate already opened for him? How much was the amount of money you are claiming? The problem will be that when the check comes and is made out to the estate of your father, you will not be able to deposit or cash the check.

Your father would be able to easily claim his unclaimed funds but you're not him. You'll need to prove that you should receive the funds.
