To the OP: this is a very good answer, but I have one comment. If a bank cashes a check for someone other than the payee, the bank can be held liable. If it comes to that, you're gonna need a lawyer. In any case, contact the company right away about your stolen check. quote:
ORIGINAL: celticlord2112 Generally, companies will replace a stolen check, so long as it has not been cashed. The sooner you contact them the better your chances. If it gets cashed, you're probably screwed. Liens are claims against property. The nature of the liens (and the property attached) will determine whether or not you a legally required to use this insurance settlement to satisfy the underlying debts. If there is a claim against the insurance settlement itself, more than likely you will be required to satisfy that claim before you spend the settlement money in any other fashion.
