Yes. If you want to get out of a joint account, you can contact the bank and submit a written request to be removed as a joint holder of that account. The other parties involved in the joint account have to approve your removal from the account, only then the bank will complete the formalities.

If the person's name is not listed as a primary account holder, you usually cannot remove their name from the account. Only the primary account holder can make changes to the account.

It seems like you are asking what happens when one joint account holder dies. I believe that most joint bank accounts are set up so that the surviving account holder would have legal possession of the full balance, the same as he did before the death of the other joint account holder.
Possibly, but you should consult your joint account holder before doing this.
Primary account holder is the person on whose name the bank account is created in the first place. Ex: Assuming you have a bank account and then once you get married you would include your spouse as a joint account holder. you will be the primary account holder and your spouse would be the secondary holder.
If you are a joint account holder you can still use the card. The creditor should be notified of the death of the other account holder. They may simply remove the person from the account or require you to open a new account in your name. However, if you are the joint holder you are responsible for the entire amount owed on the account.
It depends: a. Yes - If you are joint holder of the account along with your parents then you can deposit it into that account b. No - If you are not a joint holder of the account along with your parents, then you cannot deposit it into that account. A check can be deposited only into an account that is held by the person on whose name the check is issued.
