"Bank of America Says Power of Attorney Does Not Grant Access to Online Banking"

which was provided by ElderLaw Answers.

As an elder law attorney, I would like to know whether Bank of America would allow her to access the account online if there was language in the power of attorney that specifically allowed her that power. The key to most powers of attorney is the language. If it was not specifically listed but the powers given are general, then I would suggest pushing Bank of America's legal advisers to provide the authority for making up their own rules as they go along.
