Death or incompetence of customer.

(b) Even with knowledge, a bank may for ten days after the date of death pay or certify checks drawn on or before that date unless ordered to stop payment by a person claiming an interest in the account. Regardless of whether section would have protected defendants if they had made requested payments, trial court could conclude as it did that since plaintiff, when he executed power of attorney, was incompetent to do so, and since he did not subsequently regain his competence and act to ratify his appointment of defendant as attorney in fact, defendant had no authority to request withdrawals from defendants. 6 Conn. Cir. Ct. 148.
