<prompt> Human: The situation isnt very complicated, I just want to make sure what she wants me to do isnt some sort of money laundering. Essentially, my mother has a few checks she received from a friend for her birthday. She doesnt want to deposit the checks into her account with her husband currently going through a divorce because she feels he may take the money. I dont want to get involved in that because thats their issue to work out. I do want to help her get the money she deserves without having to fear he will take it.Can she sign the check over to me and I give her cash or is that considered some sort of money laundering?Edit: Thank you for the responses. I have my answer, it is essentially what I expected but its good to have it confirmed.  <response>: SHE can just cash them at her bank or the bank they were issued from.
