Notice requirements for closing an account

Answered by: 

Question: 
How much notice of our intent to close her account do we have to give the owner of a personal account?
Answer: 

If the account is receiving direct deposits of federal benefit payments, you have to provide 30 days’ notice unless fraud is involved. State law may also set a notice period. If federal and state rules aren’t involved, review your deposit contract for any agreement on notice.
