Best Answer

No.

Please be advised, that if the creditor sues for the debt and wins a judgment the judgment can be executed against a bank account held by a married couple even if only one spouse is the debtor. The non-debtor spouse would be required to supply the court with documentation of his or her ownership rights to the bank account that could be subject to levy.

Likewise, the judgment creditor might be able to place a lien against property jointly owned for the debt owed depending upon how said property is titled.
