Can my spouse and I be joint owners of an account?

No. There can be only one account owner for each VT529 account. It is possible, though, for each of you to have your own separate VT529 account for the same beneficiary. You can also identify someone as the Successor Owner, or in other words, an alternative account owner should you pass away or become incapacitated. If you ever need to change the account owner, you can always do so by downloading and submitting our Change Account Owner Form.
