Yeah, when I was first married, I had trouble opening a checking account in my own name, because I didn't change my name to my husband's last name. Somehow the bank thought that was illegal.
My Mom had issues with voting, and financial stuff regarding the farm after my Dad died.
I personally have still run into things with the bank too, even just inquiring about our JOINT ACCOUNT because I wasn't the man.
I have done my best since then to make sure my name is on everything, that my husband has spoken with the bank and put notes on everything that I am to be respected if I call and make inquiries or transfers, etc. since I often act on our behalf.
