CVS Account Type

CVS offers a variety of brokerage account types to cater to different investment needs. The primary account types include:

• Individual Brokerage Account: This account is owned by a single individual and allows for complete control over investments.
• Joint Brokerage Account: Shared between two or more individuals, this account is ideal for couples or family members who want to pool their investments.
• Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship: Both owners have equal rights, and if one dies, the survivor automatically receives the decedent's share.
• Tenants in Common: No right of survivorship; the decedent's share goes to their estate.
• Community Property: Only available to married couples in certain states, with assets split 50/50.

These accounts provide flexibility in managing investments and allow for penalty-free withdrawals.
