The aspect of "right of survivorship" is irrelevant to this question. The right to take money out of the account is what is called a "present interest". The present interest means ownership of the property right now. The right of survivorship a type of "future interest". The future interest is what happens to the property in the future after one of the joint owners dies. Right of survivorship is a feature of one of several types of joint ownership. Other types of joint ownership are tenancies in common and tenancies by the entirety. Whether the joint ownership is with right of survivorship, in common or by the entirety. It makes no difference which kind of joint ownership the property is if you want to know if your husband can take out money while you are alive. As long as the account is in any form of joint ownership, he would be able to take money out while you are alive, because you both own the present interest jointly. For stock accounts it may be possible to modify the ownership rights as to the present interest by specifying in the account contract that he does not have the power to take money out without your consent even though he is a joint owner of the present interest. In addition, jointly owned accounts frequently provide that money cannot be taken out by one person alone; that both owners must sign checks and withdrawal slips. So just keep in mind that "right of survivorship" means nothing as to the present right to take money out of any account other than the fact that it is sometimes a feature of joint ownership

If you designate your husband as a joint owner with right of survivorship on your stock account, he would typically have equal rights to access and manage the account while you are alive. This means he can withdraw money from the account. It's important to consider the implications and discuss this decision with your husband and potentially a financial advisor or legal professional.

If it is your sole account you should always name a beneficiary. The bank will assist you if you visit any branch. If no beneficiary was named the funds in the account become part of the owner's estate upon death.
