Legal Question???

This is not my area of legal expertise---you should consult a lawyer who specializes in this area.

However, in general, money in a joint account is payable in total to either of the account holders.

You also may be time barred under the applicable statute of limitations, even if you would otherwise have legal recourse.

I would concur with my fellow barrister MikeP. Any party officially named on the account can access the funds.
