Paying in a cheque

Cheque payable to 2 individuals but I have no account in the joint names (mother and daughter) how can I pay the cheque into an account in just one of the payers names?

    Can it be re-issued by the drawer?
    What is its date?

    Even better  -  2 cheques unless the daughter is a minor.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Unless anything has changed in the last 15 years, you can't. You will either need to open a joint account in both names, or get the cheque reissued as suggested above.
