Mt father-in-law's estate has been settled and account closed. The law firm claims a check issued in error. Are we liable to send funds back?

More information is needed to answer your question. When was the estate closed? How much was the check for? If it is not worth arguing about, then you may want to just comply with the request. Whether or not you are required to do so is hard for me to tell, given the little information posted.
