Depends on what type of an account it was set up as.

If you were a signer on an account, then most certainly the owner of the account can remove you. Same as applies to accounts set up under a trust.

if it was a joint with right of surviorship, most institutions prefer to just close the account and reopen the account under the requestor. even if there is a divorce decree. or "death certifacte"

Either way, if you were removed from the account without your consent, you should call your financial institution right away.

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.")

No. A checking account can be closed only by the individual who holds the account. He/she needs to visit the bank and sign the account closure form in order to close their bank account. No one else can do that. But, if the account holder has given the legal power of attorney to another individual, he can act as a proxy for the customer and close their bank account.
