Series 24: Joint Accounts

Joint Accounts

A joint account is an account in which more than one party can access and trade in the account. Upon opening a joint account, both parties must sign the new account form, which also operates as a joint party agreement. The joint party agreement specifies the details and rules of the account. Important rules include:

• • All parties are allowed access to the account and may make trades in the account.
• • Securities sold from the account must be signed
