You can visit the bank branch where you hold the joint account and submit a written request to remove your name from the list of account holders for that account. The bank may ask you to get the other holders of that joint account and ask them for approval before doing so.

My dads sister is on his checking account but not on the will which is to be divided between the kids. can she legally take the money for herself even if the will say to divide between the kids?
It depends on how the checking account is held. If the account is a custodial account it will pass according to the will, then she cannot take the money. However, if this is a joint checking account, in the eyes of the bank she is a co-owner and is legally permitted to take the money.
Member of joint account does what happens for survivorship?
When a joint owner dies their interest passes automatically to the surviving owner. The survivor is the sole owner of the account and can close it or make changes. For example the survivor can take the decedent's name off the new checks for the checking account.
Can a collection agency take nintey percent of the money in your joint checking account and savings account?
A collection agency can take 100% of the money in your joint banking accounts, regardless of who deposited it. If the debt is owed, and there are assets in the name of the debtor, those assets are in jeopardy. It is not easy to hide these even by trying to shelter them in an account with someone else's name. If the asset exists, it will be found in most cases, and a collection agency that locates it will take all they can the first time they hit it.
Can an executor or girlfriend take money out of a decedent's checking account?
It depends on whether the executor has been appointed by the court and if the account was a joint account with the decedent and his partner.If the executor has been duly appointed they can access accounts solely owned by the decedent. That's their job.If the account is a joint account, it isn't a probate asset and the executor has no control over it. It belongs to the surviving joint owner.
Can legal order take money from a joint account?
Yes. The holders of the joint account are equal stake holders in the account and a legal order to receive payment from one of the account holders is enough to withdraw/take funds from a joint account.
If you have a joint checking account with someone and their name showed up on Chex Systems for abuse of account can the banks close the account even though the abuse was before the account was set up?
Yes, it is possible for the bank to close the joint checking account if one account holder's name appears on Chex Systems for account abuse, even if the abuse occurred before the account was established. The bank may consider this as a risk and take action to protect its interests. It is advised to contact the bank directly for clarification and to understand their specific policies in such situations.

Can only 1 person close a joint checking account?
It turns out that the answer is yes, which was rather a surprise to me. A person I know closed her joint checking account (with her husband) after her divorce, because he kept overdrawing on the account. She tried to have her name removed from the account, but they wouldn't do that without him; however, bizarrely, they were perfectly happy to simply close the account on her say-so. (This may have been practical: they may have just decided "it's better for us to close the account than to take the one person who actually puts money IN off the account.")
If you have a joint checking account with your husband can he close it or remove your name without your signature?
He cannot remove your name from the account. However, he can close the account and then open a new account with the money. Just remember this can work both ways. With a joint account either person can go in and close the account out and then take the money and open themselves a new account. Most of the time it depends on who makes it to the bank first to close out the account.
Can husband take money from joint account without wife permission?
Of course. That's the purpose of a "joint" account.
