How do I stop a family member from gaining access to my bank account?

I have a dual bank account with my mother. She joined me to her account when I was under 18. She can manage my bank account, but I can't manage hers. I am now over 18, in college, and wish to manage my bank account by myself. How do I separate our accounts?

Open a new account.
Write a check to transfer the money from the old account to the new.
Don't give your mother the account number or password for online/atm access.

Meine Bank

endlich mal eine Bank der man vertrauen kann ;-)

The pun (for the non-german-speakers): in German language, the words for 'bank' and 'bench' are exactly the same. There is a well known TV commercial sporting the slogan 'meine Bank' (my bank).
