question about a Money Order

[imported_K3N]

I just received an MO today, and i gave it to a relative so they can cash it into their bank account and give me the cash later. I read the MO that it was valid for one year. Im about ship an item out to someone right now. I was wondwering would it be possibble for them to take back the money (cancel the MO) some how, if it werent cashed in the relative's bank account?

Nope, Money Order = Cash. Unless it is fake there is no way for them to "Cancel" the MO.

There's no way for them to cancel it without it being fraud. I think they can declare the money order lost/stolen and retrieve most of the funds back, minus a processing charge. But in order to do that they would have to an affidavit saying it was lost/stolen, so once the truth came out, they'd be the ones in trouble.
