If the bank account is in your name (ie it is a joint account with your name on it) then you have the right to withdraw funds from it or to deposit funds into it. However if you feel that you should not be withdrawing money because it will upset the other person who jointly owns the account then perhaps you should discuss this with them before you make the withdrawal - there is more to life than the simple legal niceties.

What is a Co owner on a checking account?

A Co-owner on a checking account is someone who has full access to the funds. They are able to deposit and withdraw money from the account, write checks on the account and disperse them. A benefit to having a co-owner on an account is the ability for more than a single person to access the account if, god forbid, the other co-owner becomes sick or dies. A huge drawback is that the co-owner may abuse the account and legally be able to use all of the funds. If a married couple becomes separated or divorced it is encouraged they close their joint account and reopen separate ones.

No. As with any bank account only the account owner can withdraw money from the account. If the mother set up the account as a joint account with her daughter (with both mother's and daughter's name on the account as joint owners) the full ownership of the account passed to the daughter when the mother died. No one else can make withdrawals.
