What is the name of your state? California
My father and I signed the paperwork adding my name to his checking account as a joint account holder. Somehow it was misplaced and never turned in - wasn't really a problem as I had POA. He has since died and I've just found the paperwork. All his assets are in a trust except this checking account. My brother is executor and the only people named as inheritors are my brother, sister and myself and there are no disagreements between us. The bank has not yet been notified of his death. Is this document still legal as it has his signature, and can I submit it to the bank? Thanks for any help or advice!
