This account type is different from Community Property in that upon the death of one account holder, the other retains the right to the whole account. However, property cannot be sold to satisfy the debts of one owner.
With this account, the account holder's assets – usually those of a minor or a person who can no longer manage his or her own property or financial matters – are managed by a guardian or conservator. Investment decisions are made solely by the court-appointed guardian or conservator.
