I thought the joint checking account was too scary. Not the trust aspect, the keeping track and balancing aspect! I had a hard enough time with just my own account! Our solution was both names on all accounts, but I write all the bills. Why would I want to write all the bills if I have a hard enough time balancing? Beats a balanced account where the bills are paid late! Ahh...relationship compromises.
Have you done (are you looking to do) other legal paperwork, like health care proxies and such?
