Key Bank? No Thanks

[susandennis]

Last weekend, I sent an email to my two banks - Key Bank and BECU - asking how to add my brother (who is physically in Texas) to my account.

On Monday I got a nice email from BECU with all the info I needed and a link to the form with instructions as well as a couple of different options as to how to make it happen.

Today - Thursday - I got an email from Key Bank: 'You would need to discuss the options to add your brother at your local KeyBank branch. Typically, both parties need to be present in person.'

Wow.  Thanks, Key Bank for such great customer service.  Me thinks BECU will be getting more of my business and you will be getting less...  pretty soon.

Last night I slept like a rock.  I think it was catch up from sleep lost with stomach cramps and hot and not using the breathe right strips.  Last night I stipped off all coverings, turned the ceiling fan on high, went with high powered nose strips and wow, did I sleep good.

I have a free, no-standing-in-line, ticket to see The Kings of Summer tonight.  I think I'm going to take in dinner at the belt sushi place and then go to the movie.  I might even leave a little earlier and drop in some shopping places.  Maybe.  But, if the sun stays out and it gets too hot, I might just call the whole thing off.  The good news is that I don't have to decide until the last minute.

Betty is sitting here patiently waiting for me to get up and fix her some more breakfast.  She's asking so nicely, that I guess I'll just do it.

No wonder cats think they're gods.

Another thing you might do is give your brother financial power of attorney. My Poulsbo sister had that from Dad, and it made it possible for her to access his BofA account when he was gone. She took those funds and put them into her personal Wells Fargo account, and added me as a signatory to that account so I could grab the parental funds to distribute to the siblings. She needed to make a few trips to Wells Fargo to get that done, but in the end all it took from me was mailing in a signature card and maybe a copy of my driver's license.

Yep. I have a Power of Attorney for finances and for plug pulling as well as a Living Will and a regular will. He's the executor and the sole beneficiary. With a joint account, he should have no issues.
