warrant

English to French Other Law (general)
Good morning,

I have this document from Department of Commerce regarding a claim for payment of property.

They are asking for additional proof evidence.

The list says:

"please provide copy of deceased owner's Death certificate
document stating the address to send the warrant (check)."

What would be warrant in this context? Un titre de propriété ? Mandat does not make any sense to me. As for (check), could it be un chèque (que le département adressera à la personne en question?)

Or have I understood it wrongly?

Thanks for your help.

@ Daryo Merci Daryo, je pense que vous avez raison sur le sens "autorisation de paiement" ; en effet, après avoir vérifié le sens de warrant dans plusieurs dicos unilingues, cette définition me semble la plus adéquate dans le contexte du document qui m'a été soumis.
Daryo Feb 7, 2019:
How it looks so far. this Division of unclaimed funds holds some money that is owed to some "deceased owner"

this person made a claim on that money (so it would be a heir OR possibly a creditor of the "deceased owner")

if the claim is accepted, then the procedure would include a "warrant" and a "cheque".

Looks like this "warrant" is some kind of "decision/order to proceed with payment"

Anything in your ST to contradict this interpretation?

Any indication how these "unclaimed funds" come in possession of this "Department of Commerce"?

Are you talking of "property" of the real estate kind or of "property" as a general concept - anything that belongs to a person?

IOW would it be "the deceased owner" of the "unclaimed funds" or of some real estate?

BTW an "arrest warrant" is very far from being the only kind of warrant - try this one for variety "Royal Warrant" https://www.royalwarrant.org/

@ Chakib Roula Division of unclaimed funds. Claim evidence form. The person has to send back more evidence so her claim is taken into account. She has to send letters from probate court + what I have written ion my first post.
Chakib Roula Feb 7, 2019:
Would you please add more context to spot the meaning!
VeroniquePhelut (asker) Feb 7, 2019:
@Chakib Roula Why would the Departement of Commerce send "une caution" to this person then?
Chakib Roula Feb 7, 2019:
@Véronique,
J'aurais tendance à penser à une caution?

POUR PERMETTRE DE LEVER TOUT DOUTE IL SERAIT IMPORTANT D4EN SAVOIR PLUS SUR LE CADRE DE CE DOCUMENT !!
Note from asker:
Bonjour, merci pour votre suggestion. Dans le cas présent, après avoir regardé la définition de warrant dans plusieurs dicos unilingues, je dirais que Daryo a raison sur le fait que warrant est une autorisation de paiement. Le Département du Commerce délivre une autorisation de paiement + le chèque correspondant j'imagine. Merci pour votre aide quoi qu'il en soit.
Malheureusement, je n'ai pas plus d'infos à donner...En tout cas, merci pour vos contributions.
