Q: So my grandfather passed away then 4 weeks later my grandmother pass before my grandfathers insurance came in!
My grandmother may pass before the check is deposited into her account how can my mom or uncles save it before it goes back to insurance
A: The question is not altogether clear to me, but it sounds like the insurance payment is property of your grandmother's estate, and that a probate case needs to be commenced in order to deal with the payment. An attorney with the whole picture will be able to guide you through the probate process, and suggest possible alternatives.
