I’m the executor for my Mom’s estate (she died about a year ago). On Friday last week, I got a cheque in her name¹ from the Government of Ontario. Premier Ford’s handiwork, it seems. My Mom’s estate just got $200 richer.

Anyway, per this Star article, it seems like I’m not the only one. And, apparently, the right thing to do is to deposit the cheque, thus adding it to the estate — which I will do, once I pay a visit to my local branch².

1. Not “The Estate of” which is a sign that the sender is working from less-than-current information. ↩︎
2. All transactions involving an estate require a physical visit to a bank branch. As an online native, I find this confounding, perplexing and irritating. ↩︎
