What is the name of your state? Hawaii
I have joint savings and checking accounts with my mother who lives in North Carolina. I do not access these accounts. She wanted me to save on inheritance taxes and to be able to withdraw money in an emergency. My name has been on these accounts for several years. Now, she has forwarded me a letter from the bank wanting information on me due to the Patriot Act. They want name, addresses and SS#, which they should already have, in addition, they want my driver's license number, including the issue and expiration dates. I feel very uncomfortable with a bank 5000 miles away wanting this additional information. Also, since I signed the forms this bank has been purchased by another bank. They say they need this information because I am not the primary account holder. What happens if I don't return this form? Will Ashcroft show up at my door with an arrest warrant? Thank you
