I think Lousie Serrate should cashed that check at the time she received it. Donald Lovekamp specifically told her, that belongs to her, because she returned after a divorce to stay with him. He was specific about his wish and made clear that she can cash the check if something would have happened to him. I am not sure if that was a smart decision. In case of death, she would not have any access to the bank account to cash the check. I may be overt thinking it, but I wonder if he did it in purpose because he knew, that she would not be able to cash it.
