Program Description:
Proper titling and documentation of accounts is extremely important for a number of reasons.
The FDIC uses the deposit account records of the bank to determine both the identities of the owners and the right and capacity in which the funds are held. In many cases, the FDIC requires specific terminology in the account title. And the title on the account becomes very important once the account holder(s) becomes party to a legal dispute or passes away.
Most financial institutions use more than one provider of deposit account forms. The purpose of the forms is to provide a permanent document that becomes a binding contract between the bank and the account holder(s). In many situations, the state or federal government has passed laws or regulations that require certain elements to be present in the account documentation.
The Bank Secrecy Act requires banks to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) on all persons who open deposit accounts or who purchase or redeem certificates of deposit. The workshop reviews tax withholding certificates, including the proper TIN certification on W-9s, W-7s, W-8s, and valid substitutes.
This evening workshop identifies and discusses the proper documents or forms that are required for each type of account. The 200+ page workshop notebook includes examples of recommended documentation and account titling.This seminar covers:
