Re: bank accounts
Generally, having a joint bank account means both people or all people named on the account are principals. That means all have equal rights and responsibilities with respect to the account. There are some exceptions.
There are other ways to set up an account so that you are not a joint owner if that is your wish. You should seek the advice of an estate planning attorney.
