I realize that deposit accounts are governed by state law, however, I'd like to pose this scenario and get your opinion. We have a customer who requested a "contingent POD" on his CD. Researching Tennessee law, I found nothing that would disallow this, but are there any issues here that we might encounter problems with in doing this?

We open all minor accounts under the UGMA. We have an account where the child is now 19 years of age. Her father, the custodian, has closed the account and placed the funds in a regular account with just his name. What is our responsibility in monitoring how these accounts are maintained. Can the minor once they reach legal age, close the account with the custodian's permission? What rights does the child have once they reach legal age?

I had a request to close a custodial account the other day that came from the childs father. My problem is, the only authorized signer on the account in question is the childs Mother. My initial response was to say no but i wanted to seek a second opinion. If it makes any difference, we are talking about illinois law.

One of our CSRs has heard that a next of kin can withdrawn $1500 from an account they do not sign on to payfuneral expenses for the account holder. This is without court papers. Is this true?
