Usually if it's a joint account if means the main named person on the account. for example if you are the priamry account holder you need to by the one who sign's to set up direct debits etc. However if it's a joint loan & you have insurance on it & the primary person comes out of work, the insurnace will pay, however if the secondary person comes out of work - they poss will not pay out
