Unsigned Check Processing Issue
Summary
Unsigned checks generally lack validity as negotiable instruments under UCC Section 3-401, which requires a signature. In California, banking regulations ensure compliance with UCC and protect consumers from unauthorized transactions. An Image Replacement Document (IRD) should replicate the original checks features, including the signature. If your bank processed an unsigned check, verify their policies and procedures regarding IRDs. Consider disputing the transaction and requesting detailed documentation from your bank. Consulting a consumer protection attorney may also be beneficial.Full Conversation
I need to understand my right with a bank issue
Can you provide more details about your bank issue? For example, is it related to fees, account access, or a loan dispute? This will help in providing more specific information relevant to your situation.
I wrote a check and forgot to sign it. The person deposited the check and it was rejected do to a lack of signature. Their bank provided them with a letter and an IRD Check copy. This copy still did not have my signature, however, 30 days later it was processed at my back. The person I wrote the check to bank, said it was not them that sent the IRD check in and they would not cash it due to the lack of my endorsement. My bank has told me it was a legal check and they cashed it and withdrew the fund from my account.
It sounds like a complex situation. Here are some general points regarding unsigned checks and IRD checks in Indiana:
- Generally, banks require checks to be signed to be valid.
- An Image Replacement Document (IRD) is a legal copy of a check.
- You may need to dispute the transaction with your bank if you believe it was processed incorrectly.
Have you contacted your bank to discuss their decision to process the unsigned check?

Can an IRD check bypass the need for a signature
Case Rating: *
An Image Replacement Document (IRD) is generally intended to replace the original check and should replicate its features, including any signature. However, processing may vary based on bank policies and interpretations of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and state regulations. While IRDs are used legally, the lack of a signature should typically prevent processing unless there's an exception or specific bank policy.

This check is part of an estate probate where it was sent as a loan reimbursement to an hair before I file a petition for distribution. When this person said I had forgot to sign the check, I sent them a second check. Now the estate account show twice the intended amount removed from the account. What should I say in the probate distribution petition that one of the hairs looks to have cashed both checks? Should I deduct the amount from their heritage even though they say they did not cash both checks? What do I tell the court and the hair?
