Yes, even if it has been signed over to your mom, many banks will still let you process it for deposit to an account that is in your name. Please make sure to speak with the bank FIRST about how to properly proceed. Rest assured, they have experienced your situation before!

You can always go to your local bank or credit union and open a Checking or Savings account then use this check as your initial deposit. Remember to ask at the bank (explaining your situation) before you begin the process.

Even if it's been signed over, I'll talk to a bank about it
