Travellers Cheques

In the great clearing process I came across some travellers' cheques, Perhaps £50 worth.

Some were countersigned by my late mother for the Midland Bank (now part of HSBC). Some others were issues by the Bank of Scotland and countersigned by my father who passed away over 25 years ago.

Does anyone know if there is a process for cashing them in, or are they just pretty bits of paper now?

    As long as they have not been dated they should still be valid. You should be able to cash them in with the issuing bank but they will need proof that the person has died and you are entitled to manage the estate.
