Maybe. It depends on how the account is set up and the laws of your state of residency that governs creditor judgment actions. It also would depend on whether or not the amount in the account that was your mother's was probated according to state law.

Can creditors garnish joint savings accounts if one party on the account is not named in lawsuit?

In most states, creditors can garnish any account joint or not as long as the person they are trying to collect from is on that account. Sorry. The non debtor account holder should supply proof of the amount of funds held in the account that belongs to them. The court will then decide which funds are subject to levy. An exception to the levy of joint accounts is if the account is held by a married couple in a state that recognizes Tenancy By The Entirety of personal property, in such a case, the account cannot be levied when only one spouse is the debtor.
