Can I send my son with a check to purchase food and write check over for cash?

Hello Barbara, Sorry, but no. The only person that can tender a check are persons who are signing the check {the account holders} you'll need your ID when you do. Sadly, gone are the days of being able to trust one another. When you give them a check, they electronically authorize it with your bank and the bank holds those funds out of your account for them. Sorry that I couldn't bring you better answers. Tim
