Tl;dr - the cheque they deposited was returned to the mother's estate because the cheque was signed with the wrong kind of pen.

I completely agree with you, friend. One of the fundamental benefits of Bitcoin is that it allows users to remain in full control of their own wealth without the need for trusted third parties such as banks. Bitcoin transactions are processed in a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, meaning that users can send and receive funds without the need for intermediaries.

Situations like the one you've shared where someone's inheritance has been taken from them without their consent highlights the importance of Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies that cannot be seized or controlled by outside parties. By using Bitcoin, individuals can take back control of their finances and ensure that their money will never be taken away without their permission.
