2. “"In our consideration of the claim of Louise Vetter, with respect to the bank savings account, we find that, when the account was established, Louise Vetter signed a blank card giving to the bank a copy of her signature; there was no formal joint account contract signed. The account then was designated on the ledger card as `Mr. or Mrs. W.G. Vetter.' There was no withdrawal of this signature card; but after the divorce was granted, the account was changed on the ledger card at the request of Mr. Vetter to `Wallace G. Vetter.' When Mr. Vetter remarried, the ledger card was again changed at the request of Mr. Vetter to `Wallace G. Vetter or Mrs. Wallace G. Vetter or the survivor.' In no instance was there a formal agreement executed between the bank and the parties. The only indication that such an arrangement had been made is obtained from the typed names on the ledger card. Either party could have requested the bank to make a change in the account, and it would have been granted. The requirement that a copy of the signature be given to the bank was for the protection of the bank, not the parties to the contract." 117 Ohio App. at 234-35 .”
