That should be fine.. but I think that you may need to show your relationship with the other account holder and get a letter of consent from him saying that you could use the funds.. I am doubtful about this but can someone tell me if in cases like this, it is necessary for the person to be blood relative?

Thanks for your reply bond...here is the exact statement on ukba web for joint accounts : "If you want to use a joint account as proof of your money, you must be named on the account along with at least one other person" and according to this there is no need to show relationship in joint account.

I just want to make sure if its okay way to go.......

In that case, you would just need a letter of consent...
