Who owns the money in a joint bank account?
The money in joint accounts belongs to both owners. Either person can withdraw or use as much of the money as they want — even if they weren’t the one to deposit the funds. The bank makes no distinction between money deposited by one person or the other.
A secondary signer – sometimes referred to as an “authorized signer” or a “convenience signer” – is a person who has access to a bank account without having ownership of it. Having a signer on your account can be helpful if you need help managing your finances – particularly if you become ill or incapacitated.

Do joint bank accounts get frozen when someone dies?
A joint account with a surviving spouse will not be frozen and will remain fully and immediately available to the surviving spouse. The joint owner will need a death certificate and a tax release to gain access to any account larger than $25,000.
Can you withdraw money from a joint account if one person dies?
Most people throughout their lifetime have a checking and savings account at a bank or credit union. Married couples tend to have “joint banking accounts” which means that each spouse has access to those funds. If one spouse dies, the surviving spouse is still able to withdraw the money.
What is an authorized signatory? Simply put, an authorized signatory or signer is a person who’s been given the right to sign documents on behalf of the authorizing organisation.
Can I add my daughter to my bank account?

What happens if you add a child to your bank account?
College Aid: If Henry keeps the account and has a college-aged child of his own, that child is less likely to get good student aid or scholarships because June’s account inflates Henry’s assets. Adding a child’s name to your bank account is an example of a harmless, well-intentioned gesture that triggers unexpected bad consequences.
What happens to your old savings account in Texas?
In Texas, you have abandoned your savings account if it has been more than one year since you had contact with your bank. In California, banks escheat funds after three years of inactivity. Escheat laws could complicate your quest for your old savings fund if your bank handed over your cash to the state before it ceased operations.
