Make Your Demand on a Customized Check

[David Merrill]

Here is an example:





The suitor could not pursuade the printer to remove the Pay to [the Order of]________. So for now he strikes through those words.

I love it! But would this by itself be binding on the bank? Wouldn't the recipient still need to make a demand for lawful money when they deposit or cash this check?

[David Merrill]

That is their choice to make. We have discussed this in the brain trust.

If it is the lawn boy for example you might explain about lawful money and offer to put the stamp on there for him, once he is informed. For public utilities you might require the transaction by putting the stamp on the back before you send payment. But that is because they are your public utility service.
