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.
