Will your bank accept your durable power of attorney?

Rhode Island Durable Power of Attorney

A client recently had a problem at Bank of America, as power of attorney for his mother. Their policy was to only allow a durable power of attorney if the account holder presented the original form to the bank themselves! This was a problem because client's mom was unable to leave her home. Be aware of what your bank's rules are in order to avoid a problem.
