You could have one sibling's name on one of the bonds and the other's name on the two remaining bonds. The form to do this is the same as the form to fix the spelling - there's more info <a href="http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/fixing-misspelled-name-on-savings-bond/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

You have no rights to cash or change the bond while your father is still alive. The "gift" is meaningless unless he has passed.

However, we no longer speak to each other and the bond itself was a gift to me. My name is under the POD but I was wondering if I'd still be able to cash it in even though the POD is the only spot my name is printed.
