Can A Joint Bank Account Be Closed With One Signature ?

Did our Valentines celebration last night & we get a server who's relationship had obviously gone south recently.


 


Definitely uncomfortable but i could imagine she needed to vent to anyone.


 


Seems she was in a common law relationship, relationship ended abruptly, partner drained the funds & closed the joint account.


 


Of course there are always two sides to a story. She asked if it was possible to close a joint account with one signature. I my reply was " I Don't Know, might be best for you to call your branch "


 


I have always heard of joint accounts being drained, i just no experience with anything like this, nor do any of my friends.


 


Can a joint account be closed with one signature ? I have no idea.


 


BTW, I have no intentions of draining our joint bank account. LOL  I like the fact my head is located on my upper torso.

Depends if it is set up to require both signatures for any transactions or changes, or just one sig. If it is only a single signature then yes one signature can close it.

Prior is right. If the signature requirement is " either / or " , then one signature does it.

"She asked if it was possible to close a joint account with one signature."


 


Yes in most instances.  The only restriction I know is if the account is set up that both signatures are required for every cheque or withdrawal which is seldom practical for personal joint accounts. We see that in business accounts mostly.

My wife works at a bank and without me even knowing she can access my 2 bank accounts or all 3 of her cards and make and changes and take phone calls on my behalf ... SURPRISE TO ME ... My wife is the snoopiest person on planet earth though and loves to know everything about everything ,,,, I spend $10 and she asked me what I spent it on .. Of course I reply hookers..LOL


 


But I told her I am going on my days off to change everything as she gets whatever she wants all the time anytime so there is no reason for her to have all that stuff .. I trust my wife but with My job and my business i need her out of the bank accounts..


 


FYI Prior is dead on

"I trust my wife but with My job and my business i need her out of the bank accounts.."


 


I went the other way.


 


A few years ago, after several tests and brain scan, when the doctor indicated I may be at the early stage of Alzheimer, one of the first thing I did was to add Mary's signature to all my bank accounts, making them joint accounts automatically. This would allow her to access and manage the accounts should I lose the ability to do so.


 


Although the specialist later indicated there was no sign of Alzheimer at the time, I never changed the set-up.


 


I trust! 🙂

Of course there are always two sides to a story, I hope she didn't lost too much money.


 


We have all read & heard horror stories in regards to this subject.

I don't want to know. Big question is what does a ten dollar hooker look like. Scary thought.


 


I've heard stories about the street walkers around the Queen Street Mental Health Centre & in front of the Filmore & Soupy's. Not sure if those buildings are still standing in downtown TO.
