Subject: [WSBAPT] Minor Blocked Accounts

I have received letters from two different banks in the last 2 months that minor blocked accounts are going to be closed and the monies sent to the State of WA because there has been no activity in the last 2 years!  Of course there has been no activity - they are BLOCKED by the court and to remain so until the minors reach 18 years of age.

What has changed that has prompted these banks to send these ridiculous letters?  When I called Kitsap Bank, I was told by the not so bright woman who controlled the account that the legal department generated the letter and that somehow it was up to the minor and me, her counsel, to now deal with it or the monies would be sent to the State of WA.  When I asked her what authority the bank had to disregard the court order, she said - because her legal dept said so.  I responded that the only activity the account was going to have was the deposit of terms awarded to the minor if I had to go to court to stop the bank from touching this money.  Geez.

The account was set up 6 years ago, was approved by a SGAL and the court and there is an order in place that the account is blocked and shall remain so until this minor reaches 18 which is 4 years from now.
