Establishing Principal Account Control
Summary
To establish control over a principals bank account, ensure the account is in the principals name, confirm ownership with the bank, and provide necessary legal documents like a Power of Attorney. In case of bank failure, contact the FDIC for insurance claims. If you notice discrepancies in your account ledger, review statements, contact your bank, and document communications. A bank can close an account if another account in the principals name is negative. If closed, the account may remain open for set-offs. To manage a rental agreement, obtain a notarized Power of Attorney. Debits decrease your balance, while credits increase it; they should not match. For unresolved issues, consider filing a complaint with the CFPB.Full Conversation

what do you mean make sure the power of attorney is naturalized>?
It seems there might have been a misunderstanding. The correct term is "notarized," not "naturalized." To ensure a Power of Attorney (POA) is valid:
*. Draft the POA: Clearly outline the authority being granted.
*. Signatures: Both the principal and agent must sign the document.
*. Notarization: Have the document notarized by a notary public to confirm its authenticity.

No thank you. I am aware of a notary public here in my county. You have been the most help!! thank you for the information and i hope we can speak again.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions in the future, feel free to reach out. Have a great day!
Just to clarify... When ever a debit is made on my account I should see on my ledger the amount withdrawn or debited, as well as see an amount in the equal value credited for the debit just made correct.
A debit and a credit are not the same in banking terms. When you make a debit (withdrawal), your account balance decreases. Conversely, credits (deposits) increase your balance. They should not appear as matching transactions. If you're seeing discrepancies, contact your bank.
