<p>When money is in a joint account with a parent/child is it listed under the child's assets or the parents?</p>
<p>Depends how the account is written. Whose ss # is the primary one on the account? That is who the account "belongs" to.</p>
<p>Where did the money come from and what was its purpose? Was the child a minor when the money was received? If so, is the child a minor now as well? Is it by chance a UGMA account? Is it a true joint account in the name of "A and B" or "A or B"?</p>
