§ 14854 Credit Union Joint Accounts

• •If you share a credit union account with someone else, the rules for that account follow the Probate Code.
• •This law makes sure everyone knows what happens with the money in the account, like if one person dies.
• •The credit union has to follow these rules, not just their own.

Two friends open a joint savings account at a credit union.

The rules for who can access the money or what happens if one friend passes away are decided by the Probate Code, not just the credit union's rules.
