Dear Client,

No it is not. Even if a cheque is presented after the death of the drawer it is perfectly in order to pay it (irrespective of whether the encashment is with or without the knowledge of the death), as long as the cheque was drawn when the drawer was alive.

Withdrawal would however require the consent of both the parties, when both of them are alive.

Thank You.
