Best Answer

You should be able to close the account and transfer those funds to a local bank. The Canadian bank will request that you send a copy of the POA document. The Canadian bank may also request an Affidavit signed by the attorney-in-fact stating that the POA has not been revoked and the principal has not died. You should contact the legal department of the bank. A bank representative will tell you what you need to send in order to close the account.

You might find general contact information online that would allow you to begin your inquiry with an email. Start by doing a search using the bank's title and look for a link to "Contact Us". Then, send an email stating that as an attorney-in-fact you want to close the account and ask for instructions as to what the bank needs from you in order to do it.
