What is the reasoning behind one person completing the wire request and a different person posting the wire transfer from an account? Is there a rule or Reg that outlines this dual control? Would we be in any violation if the person taking the wire transfer also posts it to the account? We would have another person balancing the wire General Ledger account daily.

We have a savings account that was opened June, 1994. At the time, the account was styled as a minor's account. The minor never signed on the account. The only signer on the signature card is the father. The child is now twenty-one, and is doing internet transfers from the savings to his checking. I know we need to restyle the card. Can the father legally still sign on the account and withdraw money?

We have a POA document that states the power of attorney can gift assets to others. Can the POA then name a POD on the account? The POA did not name himself.[Editor's note: The term "power of attorney" if often incorrectly used for the person to whom a power of attorney is granted. A power of attorney is either the document by which a principal grants authority or the authority itself. The correct term for the person to whom the authority is given is either "agent" or "attorney-in-fact."]
