You need to deposit the check in his account (if it still exists) and using Letter Testamentary transfer that account to the estate's account. If his account no longer exists, deposit the check in the estate's account. As the bank may have told you, you cannot simply cash it: the money belongs to your father and then to his estate, not to you.
