My father passed away 2 weeks ago . . I just received his refund check from federal . I was am the executor of his will . What do I do with the check

Hello Ron, You will need to open up a probate estate in order to cash the check.  Until an administrator has been appointed by the probate court nobody has the legal authority to cash a check on his behalf.  Probate can be a very complex process if you are not well versed it the law and procedures.  I suggest sitting down with a probate attorney in or near the county where your father resided when he passed away to review your situation.  If you want to review things yourself, the Ohio State Bar Association and Supreme Court of Ohio has some guidance and forms which may be illustrative. https://www.ohiobar.org/public-resources/commonly-asked-law-questions-results/law-facts/law-facts-probate/ http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/LegalResources/Rules/superintendence/probate_forms/Default.asp Best of luck.
