Question My mother recently had a heart attack, as a result of this she became afraid that if she died no one could get access to her bank accounts so she very quickly added me to them. Is there any financial risk to me because of this?
Answer if she added you as a beneficiary, no, if she added you as a signer, if the account were to become overdrawn or something of that nature, you are equally as responsible as she is. Also, if they are interst bearing accounts, if you are a signer, the IRS could consider the interest paid on her accounts as interest you earn as well. Again, if you are just a beneficiary, then no.
