More details to this question:
My nephew died last month. His mom (my sister) passed away in December 2019. My nephew lived with me for the last 6 years and a few days ago I received a check in the mail payable to him from his mother's insurance company. I paid for my nephew's funeral expenses and I would like to know what to do to recoup the money I spent for his funeral. We live in Michigan.

You must open an estate. Depending on the amount, this may be an "informal" administration, which will cost less. Please contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your nephew lived and died.
