I ask this because my Mam had a nasty shock this evening. My Mam and Dad have had a joint savings account for over 30 years since they got married, although Mam's name is on the account, Dad keeps the bank books and treats it like his own rather than 'theirs'. Mam has always had to ask 'permission' to use it before she could spend any of it and because of this, she never does.
Anyway, this evening, she decides to go looking for the bank book that Dad hides. She found 2 bank books. The joint account and also a brand new account that Dad opened in January.
What shocked her was that he has removed the £13,000 savings from the joint account and put it in this new personal account he opened leaving only a few hundred in the joint account.
Mam would still not know anything about this if she hadn't looked for the bank book tonight.
Is Dad allowed to remove a large amount of money from their joint account without Mams permission also? She's really upset.
