3. What should I do if I have a check for a deceased taxpayer?

Write “VOID” across the face of the check and mail it with a request for replacement, along with the following documents attached:

1. A Claim for Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer (MI-1310)
2. A copy of the death certificate, or Letters of Authority. If a Personal Representative has petitioned the court for Letters of Authority, a copy is required.

Allow 60 to 90 days for review.
