We know the answer to this question but we can't find an authority for
it. We've check AmJur, Restatements, ALR, banking materials, will
materials, and everything in between.
When you have both the written number and the numerical version, and the
amounts are different, which one is the "correct" one?
This question will take you back to when you learned how to write a
check. If the number is different from what you wrote out in words, the
bank takes the WORDS as the correct amount.
Is this common knowledge? Or is it documented somewhere? I'd like to
think it's in some statutory construction volume somewhere.
Thanks for any direction,
Kathie
