  1. Navigating Joint Power of Attorney in Texas Probate Law The use of durable powers of attorney is a common practice in Texas, allowing individuals to appoint agents to manage their financial affairs in the event they become incapacitated. However, when it comes to joint powers of attorney, financial institutions may be hesitant to honor the document. In this blog post, we will examine the legal grounds for a bank to deny a joint power of attorney and what steps can be taken to resolve the issue. What is a Joint Power of Attorney? joint power of attorney is a legal document that allows two or more individuals to act as agents on behalf of an individual in the management of their financial affairs. It remains in effect even if the individual becomes incapacitated.

  2. Why would a Bank Deny a Joint Power of Attorney? Banks may deny a joint power of attorney for a variety of reasons, including a lack of certainty as to which agent has the authority to act or a requirement that the power of attorney specify that one of the agents may act alone. Additionally, if the individual is unable to modify the power of attorney to reflect the bank’s requirements, the bank may argue that it cannot be certain that the power of attorney was properly executed and that the agents have the authority to act on behalf of the individual. Legal Grounds for Refusal The bank has a responsibility to honor a validly executed power of attorney unless it has legal grounds to refuse to do so. In the absence of a provision allowing one of the agents to act alone, the bank may argue that it is unable to determine which agent has authority to act on behalf of the individual. The specific legal grounds for refusal may vary, but it is important to understand the requirements and procedures involved in order to resolve the issue.
