Is there any reason that a Banker must sign IRA documentation when a customer opens an IRA? This question has come up and I've answered that I can't think of any reason why a bank MUST sign. Can anyone think of reason why a banker would need to?

For a little more info...

Our forms have a few places for a bank representative. We would like to prefill these with text, rather than an often illegible signature.

You might want to check with your legal counsel. I think it is pretty customary that a representative of the custodian sign a custodial agreement.

Thanks Randy.
