V.I. Code tit. 9, § 131h (2019)
2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 9 - Banking|Chapter 11 - Banking Transactions and Conduct of Business|Subchapter II - Multiple Person Accounts|Part B - Ownership as Between Parties and Others|§ 131h. Ownership during lifetime

 (a) In this section, “net contribution” of a party means the sum of all deposits to an account made by or for the party, less all payments from the account made to or for the party which have not been paid to or applied to the use of another party and a proportionate share of any charges deducted from the account, plus a proportionate share of any interest or dividends earned, whether or not included in the current balance. The term includes deposit life insurance proceeds added to the account by reason of death of the party whose net contribution is in question. (b) During the lifetime of all parties, an account belongs to the parties in proportion to the net contribution of each to the sums on deposit, unless there is clear and convincing evidence of a different intent. As between parties married to each other, in the absence of proof otherwise, the net contribution of each is presumed to be an equal amount. (c) A beneficiary in an account having a POD designation has no right to sums on deposit during the lifetime of any party. (d) An agent in an account with an agency designation has no beneficial right to sums on deposit.
V.I. Code tit. 9, § 131i (2019)
2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 9 - Banking|Chapter 11 - Banking Transactions and Conduct of Business|Subchapter II - Multiple Person Accounts|Part B - Ownership as Between Parties and Others|§ 131i. Rights at death

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, on death of a party sums on deposit in a multiple-party account belong to the surviving party or parties. If two or more parties survive and one is the surviving spouse of the decedent, the amount to which the decedent, immediately before death, was beneficially entitled under section 131h belongs to the surviving spouse. If two or more parties survive and none is the surviving spouse of the decedent, the amount to which the decedent, immediately before death, was beneficially entitled under section 131h belongs to the surviving parties in equal shares, and augments the proportion to which each survivor, immediately before the decedent’s death, was beneficially entitled under section 131h, and the right of survivorship continues between the surviving parties. (b) In an account with a POD designation: (1) On death of one of two or more parties, the rights in sums on deposit are governed by subsection (a). (2) On death of the sole party or the last survivor of two or more parties, sums on deposit belong to the surviving beneficiary or beneficiaries. If two or more beneficiaries survive, sums on deposit belong to them in equal and undivided shares, and there is no right of survivorship in the event of death of a beneficiary thereafter. If no beneficiary survives, sums on deposit belong to the estate of the last surviving party. (c) Sums on deposit in a single-party account without a POD designation, or in a multiple-party account that, by the terms of the account, is without right of survivorship, are not affected by death of a party, but the amount to which the decedent, immediately before death, was beneficially entitled under section 131h is transferred as part of the decedent’s estate. A POD designation in a multiple-party account without right of survivorship is ineffective. For purposes of this section, designation of an account as a tenancy in common establishes that the account is without right of survivorship. (d) The ownership right of a surviving party or beneficiary, or of the decedent’s estate, in sums on deposit is subject to requests for payment made by a party before the party’s death, whether paid by the financial institution before or after death, or unpaid. The surviving party or beneficiary, or the decedent’s estate, is liable to the payee of an unpaid request for payment. The liability is limited to a proportionate share of the amount transferred under this section, to the extent necessary to discharge the request for payment.

 (a) Rights at death of a party under section 131i are determined by the terms of the account at the death of the party. A party may alter the terms of the account by a notice signed by the party and given to the financial institution to change the terms of the account or to stop or vary payment under the terms of the account. To be effective the notice must be received by the financial institution during the party’s lifetime. (b) A right of survivorship arising from the express terms of the account, section 131i or a POD designation may not be altered by will.

 (a) A deposit of community property in an account does not alter the community character of the property or community rights in the property, but a right of survivorship between parties married to each other arising from the express terms of the account or section 131i may not be altered by will. (b) This part does not affect the law governing tenancy by the entireties.
