If you are handling your mother's money as her Agent under a Power of Attorney you do not need to add your name to her bank account. Just give them a copy of your mother's Power of Attorney. Your mother's money should not be used to pay any of your creditors.

I'm sorry for the frustration this situation must be causing on top of grieving your father's loss. The bank likely has certain procedural requirements they are obligated to follow before releasing funds, but there may still be some things you can do here:

The best way to handle this situation is to discuss with your spouse how you will handle the joint account going forward. Your spouse will want to move his/her payroll deposits as well to an individual account. You should discuss the timing, and how much you will each contribute to the joint... View More
She listed my sister as the beneficiary on that account with a pay on death statement. She has had multiple accounts since, re married, and never listed a survivor, or a beneficiary on any of the other accounts.

I am very sorry for your loss. It is possible that the Payable on Death (POD) designation that your mother signed with her bank could have covered all of her accounts with that bank. It just depends on the language in what she signed. There isn't any sort of time limit on a POD designation.... View More
I pre-ordered products from a merchant and place the charges on my credit card. The timeframe was taking too long so instead of receiving any product, the merchant cashed me out at a higher price then I originally paid, but paid me with his store gift card. The merchant has since been shut down by... View More
Check was deposited to individuals account not a joint account and it was to be divided equally.
answered on Aug 24, 2022
They should require two signatures IF the check was made payable to one person and a second one. If it was just payable to the two names without the "and" included, then either could cash it with just their signature. Instead of "and", an "or" is legally implied.

You can file a complaint with your local police, with Oregon's Attorney General Consumer Fraud Division (can file online), and with the FBI who has a task force specifically aimed at this sort of fraud. All that said, the odds are extremely remote that any of them will actually do anything... View More

Clackamas Housing Authority is my landlord. Check was for relocation which has already been completed at my expense.
answered on Aug 11, 2021
Not clear why your landlord was paying you relocation money in May if you are still there, nor the reason the check bounced - one would presume that it was not for insufficient funds if the landlord was the Clackamas Housing Authority. It sounds as if the Housing Authority, for whatever reason,... View More
Oregon? My Bank account was completely drained.

The question is not when the debt dates from but rather when they obtained a court Judgment against you for that debt. Judgments in Oregon are good for 10 years and may be renewed once for another 10 years from the renewal date. IF there is still a valid Judgment in Oregon, then the creditor is... View More

I'm sorry for your loss. Trouble with banks and small estates is a common challenge, unfortunately. I recommend trying a Credit Union in Oregon to set up the estate account. Since every state has a different small estate procedure it's unlikely that you will convince a bank in Fargo to... View More

An Oregon attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But as a general note, "abandonment" is a broad term and needs more context. Abandonment can arise in a number of scenarios, whether in shameful settings, as in children, spouses, or pets, or in more... View More
