Kennedy v. McMurray

In Kennedy v. McMurray (1915) 169 Cal. 287, an administrator brought an action to determine diverse claims to $ 3,240 and interest on deposit with defendant bank. Decedent father and his daughter had opened a deposit account in the bank and executed a declaration providing that deposited sums would be joint as to time, title, and possession. The Supreme Court concluded by virtue of the instrument, the deposited amounts became the joint property of father and daughter and vested in appellant daughter, as survivor, all interest therein and the sole right to withdraw the funds.
