若有申請聯名帳戶(我的嘉信聯合帳戶勾是選Joint tenants with right of survivorship-If one owner dies, his/her interest passes to the surviving owner(s)),聯名帳戶的持有人本來就可以單方面任意對帳戶內的股票或是現金進行支配,這樣對另一伴是否更好?
一般人開的聯合帳戶都是勾選Joint tenants with right of survivorship-If one owner dies, his/her interest passes to the surviving owner(s),帳戶持有人都可獨立支配帳戶無須其他持有人同意,至於遺產稅是根據co-owners與該死亡的持有者的關係來課稅,但既然都能任意支配帳戶資金,還需要讓嘉信知道有人往生?即便現在co-owner若是spouse是免稅但未來稅法仍有可能會改
Joint tenancy with right of survivorship is a form of property co-ownership. All owners have equal shares, and if one owner dies, her share gets divided equally among the other owners. The right of survivorship trumps wills, so you can use it to bypass probate. You cannot, however, use it as a tax dodge. If the joint tenancy was with your spouse, however, an exception applies: spouses never pay inheritance tax. The amount of tax depends on your relationship. In 2013 in Pennsylvania, for example, children pay 4.5 percent in inheritances, siblings pay 12 percent and everyone else pays 15 percent
