After 65, Your Bank Can Freeze Your Money — Here's Why It Happens and How to Fix It
Starting in 2026, new state "safe harbor" laws let your bank legally freeze your money for up to 15 business days once you're 65 or older — and most seniors have never been told. Estate attorney Weston breaks down the 6 things that trigger a freeze on your own account, and the exact steps (starting with one free phone call) that keep it from ever happening to you. If this helped you, share it with someone you love who is over 65. The bank won't explain any of this to them — you might be the only one who does.
