You and your mother may have to sign a new signature card so that your name is on the account. Talk to the bank about this. As to the quit claim deed, the bank cannot help you with that but a lawyer can. I woul dbe happy to answer your questions.
Re: What types of forms do I need from bank concerning power of attorney
Your mother should probably execute both a Power of Attorney over finances and a Health Care Power of Attorney. She should also call the bank and ask them if they have a specific power of attorney form or specific language they like to see in a power of attorney. Probably not required but makes dealing with the bank a little easier. She should choose an attorney in fact for the documents that she trusts completely because that individual will have a great deal of power over her affairs. Let me know if you need assistance with the actual forms.
