<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I have found this to be true for
a number of years now, and is one reason that I continue to advise clients
against naming co-prs in their wills. There are a few banks that will still do
this, but I can’t remember which ones. For the most part, when I have co-prs
nominated in a will come to see me for probate, I advise them to decide who
wants to step aside and who will act alone, it just works so much better having
solo prs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I have an estate with 2 Co-PRs,
and am in the process of assisting them in setting up an estate checking
account. The national bank with which I am dealing indicates that they believe
that joint signatures would be required on the account. That said, they also
indicated that the bank cannot accommodate a multiple signature account.
Further, they will not set up an account requiring just a single signature
absent a court order. I’ve never encountered this problem in the past, but
then again, I’ve only been practicing for 40+ years. Are there any
reasonable banks left out there, or failing that, what is the best
work-around?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
