    No, the 'I' stands for 'individual', so ISAs can only be held by one person....

    Perhaps worth clarifying what you're trying to achieve?

    You, as parents, have separate accounts because as pointed out above they are Individual accounts.

    The only way another person can take charge of an ISA - is by Power of Attorney.

    The names on the account would not change though.
