Brothers Change Places on Account: Legal?

My brother removed my name from my mother's account without my permission. I was not notified by the bank when they added him to my mother's account. What can I do?

In what capacity were you involved in the account? Were you a joint owner, a courtesy/authorized signer, a beneficiary under a "pay on death" designation? Without knowing the answers to these questions, we can't provide you a useful answer.

If you believe that the bank removed your name without legal authority, contact them and ask under what authority the change was made. Then if you think the bank or your brother acted improperly, try to work the matter out with your brother first, but seek legal assistance if matters cannot be resolved.
