Fact-checking platform MyGoPen debunked rumors in a YouTube video about inheriting and managing bank deposits。 It said Taiwan has no authorization form for naming a beneficiary upon death, no joint accounts, and people with dementia must have a guardianship declaration petitioned for。

Facts:
- MyGoPen found that banks in Taiwan generally do not offer an “authorization form for naming a beneficiary upon death” for deposits。 Signing such a document cannot bypass inheritance procedures。
- Under Article 112 of the Insurance Act, eligible death benefits can name a beneficiary and are not treated as part of an estate, but bank deposits are subject to inheritance rules under the Civil Code。
- If parents are unable to manage their property because of dementia or illness, family members should petition a court for a guardianship declaration, after which a guardian can handle their financial affairs。
- Banks in Taiwan do not currently offer personal joint deposit accounts。 Some digital-only banks only allow users to jointly view transaction records。
- The YouTube channel “Peace of Mind” claims Taiwan implemented financial real-name registration in 1993, but the country that actually implemented the system was South Korea。
- Only the account holder can withdraw or transfer money from LINE Bank’s “Friend Account”； other members can mainly view transaction records。
