Joint Ownership
- I have most of my property and bank accounts held jointly with my spouse and an adult child. Isn't this good enough to ensure management of my property if I become incapacitated?
- I'm concerned about the disadvantages of joint bank accounts. Is there another way that I can give someone access to my bank account without giving that person ownership of my money?
