You could try to contact the IRS but no one is likely going to take your call . It would be illegal for you to personally cash the check and put it in your account... View More

If there is no named... View More

I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately there is not much you can do right now. When a person dies their accounts are frozen and access to safe deposit boxes closed.
