Reading: My father gave a blank cheque and an unsigned promissory note to someone without a date. He passed away on 15th July 2015. We closed his bank account, stopping all existing cheques. He only owned a Nano car, financed through Tata Motors on 17th November 2012 for 5 years. What happens if this person tries to deposit the cheque and sue us, even though the account is closed and my father has been gone for six months?

The person cannot deposit the cheque as the account is closed. They can sue for the amount of the promissory note, but they will have to prove its validity and that your father signed it. The car loan is a separate matter and will not affect this situation.
