That's a policy/procedure that you can set for your institution - you just need to weigh the pro's and con's of having agents/authorized signers for different accounts - it is more common, of course, for business accounts - some banks allow on personal accounts, some don't. Personally, I have never heard of, nor allowed, that on CD's - as you point out so well, I think we would cover ourselves better with a POD -
