[WSBAPT] Co-PRs and BECU estate account

[Suzanne Lieberman]

Good morning,

I have a client who has tried to open an estate bank account for her dad's
estate using her social for the EIN since she is co-PR with her stepsister,
who is represented by a different attorney . BECU is telling her they can't
open an account with joint PRs. I know we have had co-PRs open estate
accounts jointly previously with one opening the account and either allowed
to sign. Is this a BECU issue or are they giving her the wrong information?

Sincerely,

Suzanne Lieberman
