Well a bank just denied the right of a woman to take her retirement money 'cause she could not sign the papers to do so. This woman retired because she could no longer work since she lost both arms... So... This kind of fucked up shit do not surprise me anymore
EDIT: After researching it again I found out it was the brazilian equivalent of social security that denied the money and not a bank. Same motive tho.
The Credit Union that my Dad banked at did every thing they could to avoid my mother after my dad died. And because she was warned of the shady crap banks do after a spouse dies. So by dodging calls and not having access to his accounts she was charged mortgage payments for three months on loans that had life insurance. They now used this money owing as a reason to not recognize the insurance claim. A Bank in a small town where everyone knows everyone made my mother's life even worse for as long as they could directly after losing her husband of 46 years.
1st option is power of attorney for people that are incapable of handling their accounts. Normally a bank would tell you why you can't access money, normally it's fraud and they'll tell you what to do but having the other person go in? Either a policy is very wrong there, they've been given wrong advice or there's missing info here.
