Yes, we offer joint You Invest accounts, shared by two individuals. You Invest offers three types of joint accounts: 

Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS): The most common account type. Both you and co-applicant have equal interest in account assets. If an account holder dies, the ownership of the assets is retained by the surviving joint owner. This account is not available to Louisiana residents. 

Joint Tenants in Common (TIC): Those on this account have equal interest in account assets. If an account holder dies, their share of the assets will be inherited by their estate or beneficiary while the surviving tenant will continue to own their share. 

Joint with Community Property (CP): An account for married couples. You and co-applicant have equal interest in account assets. If an account holder dies, their assets will be inherited by their estate or beneficiary depending on the law of their home state.
