In order for anyone to get a judgment against you the proper procedures would have to be followed. If however, like some do (and should never ever do) you received a summons and did nothing, a creditor could have won by default. You then could have as little notice as 24 hours of garnishment or as long as ten days. This is determined by state statutes. In cases where federal or state taxes are owed, or a child support order is being enforced. You are not usually notified (and yes it is legal). Also, if you have a loan or credit line at the bank you deposit money in, they can use a "offset" and take the money from your account(s) without a court order.

Can a collection agency put a lien on all bank accounts of a couple with no previous notice?
States establish laws relating to the execution of creditor judgments. All states allow bank account levies under certain circumstances. Joint accounts can be levied, including marital accounts except those held as TBE. Only one account can be levied (garnished) at a time by an individual judgment holder. In some states the account holder(s) are notified before the levy is executed. This will not necessarily aid the debtor in protecting assets, as generally the court will order the return of any funds removed and the account "frozen" until a ruling as to the legality of the action is rendered.

What is frozen investment?
If a person is suspected to be guilty of fraud or embezzlement, the court can order that his/her bank accounts or investment portfolion becomes 'frozen', i.e. the owner cannot withdraw the funds from that account. Frozen bank accounts may remain so until the owner satisfies certain conditions defined by the court or regulatory authorities. In another example of frozen investments, a number of individual and institutional investors who had invested funds into securities before the 2009 market crash found that their investments were 'frozen' as the securities did not attract the requisite values in auctions. This means that they no longer have access to the funds that belong to them.
