WEBINAR DETAILS
Powers of attorney and living trust
agreements are complex legal documents used to transact business with your
financial institution daily. They can expose your institution to significant
risk if the attorney in fact or trustee acts outside the scope of their
authority – whether intentionally or innocently.
Opening a deposit account for a trust is substantially different
from opening an account for an individual. Similarly, lending to a trust is
considerably different from lending to an individual. Likewise, dealing with
the attorney in fact is different from dealing with an actual accountholder.
This webinar will explain everything you need to know about powers of attorney
and living trusts involving deposit accounts and loan transactions.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session will benefit both deposit and loan operations, including new accounts personnel, loan documentation staff, loan officers, tellers, attorneys, compliance personnel, auditors, and managers.
