Contact your bank to be sure of their policies for removing an account holder—while some banks allow this, others require the entire account to be closed. You may also need to supply the written permission of the other account holder to remove yourself.
A custodial account is set up by a parent or guardian on behalf of the minor. While the minor is the beneficiary of the funds, control of the account remains with the custodian until the child reaches a specified age, often 18 or 21, depending on state regulations.

Adding a joint owner to your account is fairly easy; removing them could be a nightmare. If your child is added to your account and you later decide to want them removed, you have to get them to agree and sign to remove them as a joint account holder.

Parents, as legal guardians, may be allowed to take temporary custodial control of their children's property, and hold it in good care for them until a set time, and then return it. The child still owns the property, though they may not be constantly in possession.
Family members or next of kin generally notify the bank when a client passes. It can also be someone who was appointed by a court to handle the deceased's financial affairs. There are also times when the bank learns of a client's passing through probate.
