FAQ
Can One Person Close a Joint Bank Account? Your bank may allow just one person to close the account over the phone, in person, or online. However, some banks require both account holders to visit in person, either together or separately.
Some bank accounts have transferrable-on-death (TOD) or payable-on-death (POD) designations, which allow the account holder to name a beneficiary. In this case, once the bank receives the death certificate and other necessary paperwork, it releases the funds to the named person and typically closes the account.
With a joint bank account, the joint account holder typically retains ownership of the account under the right of survivorship. "The surviving owner will be able to withdraw funds from the account," says David Doehring, probate attorney and managing partner of Doehring & Doehring Attorneys at Law.
