A bank account can usually only be held for thirty days from the time it is secured. The joint account holder should contact the bankruptcy trustee to learn what is necessary to have their percentage of the funds returned.
If they are only an authorized signer then the bank account will not be touched. If they are listed on the account as a user, it could be frozen at any time.
When you file for bankruptcy, all your assets are revealed to the trustee and basically frozen. No, a creditor probably won't put a hold on your savings account after you file but they can until your bankruptcy is discharged. Usually a letter from your attorney saying you have filed bankruptcy will stop this action.
A frozen amount in a bank meant that the deposit you have in your account cannot be withdrawn as it is "frozen". One of the reasons why account is frozen is because of a court order.
because its frozen inside
Yes
I don't really understand your term "frozen pension." Was it not exempt from the bankruptcy proceedings? Or was it held until a ruling was made and then released when the bankruptcy was discharged?

If you have filed bankruptcy because you cannot afford to pay your debts, a lender will not loan you money to purchase a house and it just doesn't make sense. You cannot continue to acquire assets while your assets are frozen and in the possession of the trustee in bankruptcy in a bankruptcy proceeding.
If a joint account with a wife had been frozen because of a debt she owed, a husband's personal account can also be frozen, but it depends on when the debt was acquired and who the money is owed to. A legal professional will be able to advise a person about the laws of their state as it may differ about community property laws.
Yes money can be deposited in account when frozen but cannot be taken out.
Perhaps. If the filing party is on a deed for real property or joint bank account with the others that property might be "frozen" until the amount each party is entitled to is proven. It will depend on what the property is and how it is titled. If this is the issue it would be advisable to consult a bankruptcy attorney.
Yes, if you can show the court "just cause" for the funds in the account to be frozen.
