How to deposit a two-party check when one person is away

When a check is made out to two people and one person is unavailable or out of the country, banks typically reject solo deposits unless both sign or a joint account is established. Without a joint account or physical presence, people are left unable to cash or deposit the funds before the check voids. Resolving this often requires either adding the absent person to the account or mailing the physical check back and forth for signatures.
