NO Please look up "power of attorney" I think you will be surprised!
Not long at all. Some one can give you their power of attorney. It just takes as long as it takes to write it up.

A Medical Power of Attorney is for medical purposes only. It allows a competent adult to choose someone who can make medical decisions for them if they should become unable to make those decisions on their own behalf. The principal can choose to be specific as to what treatment the principal does and does not want, or, can leave those decisions up to the Medical Attorney-in-Fact. The Medical AIF will have the authority to sign documents when a physician has deemed the principal to be incompetent. A Durable Power of Attorney is another type of authority whereby a principal grants the power to act on their behalf to access bank accounts, pay bills, or sign any legal documents on behalf of the principal. Authority over medical treatment can also be granted with a Durable POA. There are various schemes that could be chosen. You could have the same person(s) serving in both capacities or name two separate agents. Since the powers under a Durable POA may overlap with those under a Medical POA the principal must decide who will have the authority over medical matters and make instructions to that effect clear in the two POAs IF two separate individuals will be chosen. You should seek the advice of an attorney who can review your situation, explain your options under your state laws and draft instruments that meet your needs.

It may be up to the discretion of the bank as to whther they will allow that or not. At the very least you will have to present them with a copy of the Power of Attorney paperwork, and they may even request a copy of it for their files.
A power of attorney is legally sufficient if all of the following requirements are satisfied: (a) The power of attorney contains the date of its execution. (b) The power of attorney is signed either (1) by the principal or (2) in the principal's name by another adult in the principal's presence and at the principal's direction. (c) The power of attorney is either (1) acknowledged before a notary public or (2) signed by at least two witnesses who satisfy the requirements of Section 4122.
There is a bit of a cross up in terminology here. A power of attorney expires on the death of the grantor or subject. An executor would get an estate fee.
