More details to this question:
My Mom passed away in June. All her assets were in a joint checking account with she and my brother and myself. I am admin, executor and joint beneficiary with my brother. We recd a check for $690 made out to the estate of my mom in c/o myself. There will be no other checks and no probate. Can we deposit the check into the account? It’s for such a small amount I do not want to incur more legal costs than the value of the check...would just let the $700 go.

Yes, you may just want to let the $690 go and, after four to six years have passed (it varies by state), apply to the state comptroller's lost property office.
