No.

However, some states and countries apply a "communal property" rule, which means that even though they cannot sign on the account, the spouse has joint ownership of cash in the account by law.

Opening a Joint Bank Account Online?

Opening a joint bank account online is a pretty simple task. While the process of opening such an account is very easy, since two people are involved there should be mutual agreements between two people as to the choice of bank and other factors. It is important to sit down with the other person and thoroughly discuss every aspect of opening a joint bank account online. For example, it is important to discuss factors like whether or not the couple wants an automatic savings plan attached to the account or not. This article will discuss the process of opening a joint bank account online, as well as factors that a couple should consider while opening such an account. First, it is obvious that a couple must decide on a bank prior to opening a joint bank account online. It may be worthwhile to research banks to see if any are offering promotions along with opening a joint bank account online. Some banks may actually give a couple a cash gift for opening a joint bank account online. Other banks may give out some sort of free gift, if a couple opens a joint bank account online. There are all sorts of promotions that are always going on with banks. The important part is to agree on a promotion to take advantage of. In addition to researching promotions available with the opening of a joint bank account online, it is very important to consider other factors such as fees. Many accounts may have high fees for the use of an ATM, while other accounts charge no fees at all. Some accounts may charge a fee simply for keeping the account open, while other accounts do not charge such a service fee. Also, a couple will want to discuss the type of joint account they would like to partake in. Different accounts give out different rights to a couple. For example, a joint account with rights of survivorship merely passes on the entire account to the other surviving member on the account. This can be a good option for married couples to take advantage of, without having to write everything down in a legal will (although it is always good to have a legal will on hand). Once a couple has agreed on these factors, the process of opening the account is simple. One will simply submit paperwork to a bank and the bank will likely approve a couple.
