Chase power of attorney

Do they accept a POA?

Verified Chase adds a POA agent to an existing account, or lets an agent open a new account, after a banker reviews the POA to confirm the agent's authority. Opening a new account or changing beneficiaries requires the POA to specifically allow it. official source ↗
Verified Chase says a durable POA stays in effect if the principal becomes unable to make decisions; the agent's authority ends when the principal dies. A healthcare POA cannot be used with a bank account. official source ↗
