Once you open an Ally Invest account, you won’t be able to add a joint account partner; however, you can apply for a joint account online.
Once we approve the joint account, send us a Journal Form requesting that we move your assets to the new joint account.
Due to a partial loss of ownership, you’ll need to submit the Journal Form by mail as a notarized original.
