If the check lists “Joe and Jane Cash” then both Joe and Jane have to sign the backside of the check. John Cash Jane Cash Dangerous – if lost with signature anyone can sign there name under endorsement giving them the rights to the check. Do Not Endorse Below Line

  14. Endorsements Special endorsement – used to sign check over to another (Ex. “Pay to the order of ___”) this gives them the right to the check.

(Ex. “Pay to the order of Joe Cash only upon completion of garage construction”) followed by your signature. NOT ADVISED. Pay to the order of Joe Cash only upon completion of garage construction

  17. Stop Payment Stop Payment Order – placed on a certain check asking the financial institution to not pay the funds.
