Can't take you off my joint account unless you Die?

I would say do not put anyone on your bank account you are married or you re taking care of them and need power of attorney. That would avoid a whole lot of problems. And one cannot take the other person off the joint account unless the other person comes in and he or she has to prove what money he or she contributed to the account. Sp if one made a bad choice and put someone on her or his bank account, it is their fault.

That was something that I didn't know. I don't have anyone that I have on my account but I didn't know that the bank could do something like that. This is the first time that I have heard of something like this before. I was thinking about opening an account with pnc bank and now that I know that I will make sure that I don't add anyone on it. When something like that happens to the other party you feel really bad about that. Then on the other hand there are those that have marital issues and they don't want to be on the same account anymore. Now just asking a question if they can't get the other party off. Could they open another account and have there money transfer to another account?

Rules get so complicated sometimes. My husband and I have all accounts jointly, but we each use a different one, in fact he has a business account where I bank, and I have a checking and savings. He has a checking and savings where we have our mortgage.

The way I always saw things when it comes to decisions with money matters is that people come and go in our lives and since my children I will love for ever unconditionally, I prefer they be the beneficiaries of anything I own and or they can inherit. I can understand certain people in life not having close relationships with perhaps their kids, but in my case my children are my life and no matter how much I would love someone my children should benefit from what I created as a single mother. Later in life if I choose to remarry then perhaps things with new earnings and or inheritance matters will change for that but not for what I created alone as a single parent, I feel my children deserve that no matter what the future holds for me.

Hello, you have been busy. I haven't seen you on here. I think this is funny also. I'm just curious what would happen if a couple got a divorce. Do they still have to share an account? HA,HA That could really get interesting. I would like to be around for that conversation. Best Wishes!
