Yes, joint accounts are subject to judgment levy. The non-debtor account holder must present documentation to the court as to the percentage of funds that belong to them to avoid having their monies seized by the judgment creditor.
Generally, the court will freeze the account until a decision is made concerning which monies are subject to levy.

Can they freeze your bank account for credit card debt in New Jersey?
Only a court of law by issuance of a Order of Garnishment or Levy can freeze a bank account. Any credit card company or debt collector making such threats are breaking the law, and you're entitled to damanges for their actions. I would google "FDCPA attorney new jersey" and get paid!

What kind of bank accounts do millionares use or which bank do they use?
Well if I was a millionaire, I would be using an "off-shore" bank account in a country that is tax free and which did not have to report the contents of my bank account to the tax department in my country (IRS or Receiver of Revenue). That's why banks in the Isle of Man, Switzerland, Isle of Jersey and the Cayman Isles are so popular with wealthy people ;)

Can a creditor freeze bank accounts in New Jersey?
A judgment creditor can levy a bank account(s) held by the judgment debtor. An account can be frozen by the court when it appears that funds might be removed and/or transferred to avoid the judgment levy or to allow the judgment debtor to claim exempted funds in the account(S) or when the account is jointly held by a person who is not a judgment debtor. A joint account holder who is not a judgment debtor is required to present documents proving to the court the amount of funds that belong to them and which are not subject to a judgment levy. In some instances when an account is held jointly by a married couple and only one spouse is the named debtor the entire account will be exempted from a judgment creditor levy.

I don' t know about an IRA account, but a creditor cannot freeze or "attach" an individuals' social security or pension account in many States. If you can show that the bank "attachment" was either a SS monthly payment or receivables from a pension fund payout, the courts will declare the action invalid. Don in Cherry Hill, New Jersey
