<p>I would agree with this answer, but go further and say that
one of the survivors could likely withdraw all the funds,
possibly without the others having a remedy. I'm not sure
that intent, now matter how expressed, is enforceable.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>BTW, I think by default bank accounts are joint with rights
of survivorship. Banks don't want to be drawn into issues
over when account holders can withdraw funds.<o:p></o:p></p>

as a beneficiary designation. Theoretically any child could
go and withdraw all of it, although if the intent was for it
to be split 5 ways, then the children should request the
bank to issue 5 checks (or wire transfer, etc.) for 1/5 of
