<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">A personal banker at a very large bank is insisting that a couple cannot have their bank checking/savings/CDs held other than as joint tenants with right of
survivorship. She said she checked with her back office and because of a quirk in Washington law that’s the bank’s policy. I have not spoken with anyone but the personal banker. Before I pursue this further, I will ask this group, is there something I am missing?
Have others had this problem? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
