If you are added as a joint owner on someone's checking account, you may have some responsibility for any debts or liabilities associated with that 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.
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.
