DO NOT send them the IRS refund check under any circumstances. An IRS refund is considered an asset and should be relinquished to the probate court as such. If the state does not require probate procedures in this specific case, contact the IRS office for instructions on the proper procedure concerning the refund. Do not endorse the check or attempt to cash or deposit it in an account. And file a FDCPA complaint against the credit card company that told you that.
