    You can do it. Both have to sign for it to happen.

    makes life easier, so all dd's and so's stay the same. If i send her in to bank with a letter tommorow will this be fine. Do you think handwritten would be a prob?
  • Yes it will banks have a proper agreement for you to sign.

    Also if the account has an o/draft facility it could take a little longer as the request will probably go via a lending department to decide if joint holder can keep the facility as a sole account holder, if there is an o/d facility which is not required I would get this removed first.
