To separate your Chase account from your parents', you generally need to open a new, individual account and transfer funds, as removing a joint owner often requires their consent and sometimes an in-branch visit; the easiest method for a joint checking/savings account is for you to open a new account and move your money, or for both of you to visit a branch to potentially remove one person, but be aware you can't remove the primary account holder from an investment account without opening a new one.
No, only a joint owner can remove themselves. They can do this by visiting a branch.
In order to add or remove an owner and add, remove or update a beneficiary on your Bank of America account, you'll need to schedule an appointment in a financial center. When adding an owner, all account owners will need to be present at the appointment and bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
While you can add an authorized user to your Chase credit card account online, you can't remove an authorized user through your account management page. This means that if you want to take someone off your account as an authorized user, you'll have to call Chase using the number on the back of your credit card instead.
Yes, removing an authorized user can hurt their credit if the account was a positive factor (low balance, good history), as it removes that history, lowering their available credit and potentially average account age; however, it helps if the account was negative (high balances, late payments), improving their utilization and removing negative marks. The impact depends on the specific account's history and the authorized user's overall credit profile.
You can remove access at any time. In the Chase Mobile® app, go to Profile & Settings, then choose Settings. There, you'll find Security Center, which will show your linked apps and websites. On chase.com, sign in and go to “Security & privacy” to find “Linked apps and websites.”

Steps to Separating Joint Bank Accounts
To remove someone from a bank account, you typically need to visit the bank with the other account holder (if they agree) to sign forms, or if they're uncooperative or deceased, you may need to close the account and open a new single one, though some banks allow removal with just the primary holder's ID and forms, depending on bank policy and state law, so always check your bank's specific process first.
Before taking yourself off a joint bank account, you'll need to let the other account holder know. Banks that allow one account holder to take their name off the account may require you to submit written approval from the other account holder or might even require that all parties visit a local branch in person.
