Al was a well-respected attorney in a small town. A couple retained Al to represent them on the purchase of a home.

Among the required payments the attorney told the couple to make were a check for $1,500 to Bob Brown and a check for $610 to Susan Lee. The attorney explained that the check to Brown was for a survey of the property and the check to Lee was for termite control work that the couple had authorized.??The checks were issued and taken by Al who promised to deliver them. Al did not, however, deliver them. Instead, Al forged the indorsements of the respective payees and cashed the checks.

All of the checks, except two, were indorsed with the stamp "ABC, Inc." that ABC had provided. The bank received the deposit and noticed the lack of indorsement on the two checks. In addition, three of the checks that Sue was to include with the deposit were lost in the parking lot after closing. Phil found the checks and deposited them into his personal account. What is the effect of ABC's indorsement on the lost checks and the lack of indorsement on the two deposited checks?

An indorsement "for deposit only" is:
