If you are listed as the POD on the bank account, you should be the only person entitled to the proceeds in the account after the titleholder's death. Even if a testamentary document, such as a Last Will, states that others are to receive monies from that bank account upon the titleholder's death, the title to the bank account will control over the terms of the will.
