“Jim Carrey wrote himself a $10 million check in 1983 and, years later, put the check in his father’s pocket after his death in 1994.” – can someone explain how you can part with money if the check was not cashed by the recipient? Well, it’s assumed that the father didn’t make it to the bank posthumously. Though, of course, if the bank was, say, Lehman Brothers Bank, then after about 15 years, the father might have had a chance to visit. But the check stayed here.
