POA Printed on Checks

Question: We have a customer who is Power of Attorney (POA) for his Mom. He wants to order checks with the POA printed right on the check. Is there any problem with this? Can we do it for him?

Answer: Yes you can. The Power of Attorney can do anything the customer would do. If your customer wanted to add her son's name to the checks, you'd have no problem accommodating her request. The same goes for the request coming from the POA.
