My son opened a savings account in the second grade as a school project. The children would add money to the account every wednesday, this was also done as a promo with our local small town bank so only this particular banking insitution was in on the project.
At the time of opening the account I was a single mother and had put only mine and my son's name on the account as it was requested to complete the paper work so he could begin his project. Also I am the sole custodial parent.
This is where it get's sticky.... My son's father (whom I was never married to) had a sister who was a branch manager for this bank. Sometime during the maintainence of the savings account she has added his fathers name to the account. Father has significant money problems, so I am having my son close the account and we will take the money to another bank where dad has no "family connections".
My question is, was it legal to add his name to an account without me or my son's authorization?????
Any help would be appreciated.........
