<div style=""><font color="#000000">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?</font></div>
