Yes, both parties are responsible for any checks written on a joint account. When the checking account was opened, the paperwork signed by both signers basically stated that both people would maintain and be responsible for the account * It depends upon what the original signature card that was signed when the account was opened. Generally only the party who wrote the check is responsible for NSF unless it is a married couple who reside in a community property state. Be that as it may, both will likely be penalized in regards to fees and service charges.

Unfortunately it makes the check you're holding worthless... but if you are located in the US (not sure about other countries) it is considered bank fraud and is a federal offense.
