Personal Finance & Money Asked by user102517 on March 22, 2021
My son got a cheque from the Canadian government, but he lost his ID. Instead of taking the cheque to Money Mart which charges a lot of money when they cash cheques, he signed it over to me, I signed it, and I gave him his money. Could I get into trouble for this? If the bank thinks this is wrong, can they put a hold on previous cheques I cashed for him?
I am not Canadian, but I am posting this as an answer rather than a comment so it can be downvoted as necessary.
Strictly speaking, you aren't cashing your son's cheques. You are cashing the cheques that he has signed over to you: they are your cheques at that point. I think the only wrinkle would be if your son wasn't allowed to sign the check over to a third party in the first place, though I can't imagine why that would be the case.
