If the guardianship documents we receive when opening a guardianship account state that a court order is required for any withdrawals from account, should the bank have an alert on the account so tellers are informed to check for a court order? Or is it strictly the job of the guardians to report any withdrawals back to the court? I've been told we do need a note in the past and I've also been told it's not the banks responsibility....

Thanks!

You need to be sitting down with your legal counsel on this question. It is a State jurisdictional issue.

Thanks Randy. I have emailed my question to our legal team.

When we get an order like that we are able to restrict the account. The teller would need to request an over ride in order to complete the transaction.
