QUESTION
How can I get power of attorney for my boyfriend who is in jail?
Asked on Jul 30th, 2014 on Bankruptcy - Texas
More details to this question:
We just want to make it to where I have access to his savings account. He hand wrote a statement listing my name, account number, and the time frame for when this is to start (immediately) and end. He even had it notarized. The credit union still denied it and wouldn't give me a checklist to go by. Please help!

First, nothing obligates someone to accept any power of attorney. Some institutions are concerned they may be forged or revoked and they will have some liability for accepting them. To increase your chances that your power of attorney will be accepted, you should have one prepared that meets the Texas statutory language. They are at least used to seeing that language in valid documents. As an alternative, he can sign documents to make withdrawals or deposits to his account from the jail.
