<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have a quick question about joint bank accounts and minimum survival requirements:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">RCW 30A.22.100(3) provides that funds belonging to a deceased depositor which remain on deposit in a joint account with right of survivorship belong to the surviving depositor(s). But does “surviving” mean
that the remaining depositor survived the deceased depositor by 120 hours pursuant to RCW 11.05A.040?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have not had the opportunity to deal with the simultaneous death act until now, and I guess I’ve always operated under the assumption that funds in a joint account with right of survivorship vest immediately
in a co-owner upon the passing of the deceased depositor. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
