In the majority of US states most bank accounts even those that are joint can be levied by a judgment creditor. The determining factor is how the account is established under the existing state laws. Joint marital accounts in states that are held in Tenancy By The Entirety cannot be levied when only one spouse is the debtor.

∙ 12y agoMy husband had co-signed for a car for his daughter over 7 years ago before I even ment him and the car was reposesed for non payment. The loan company came after my husband and a judgment was filed against him. Although he did not have his own checking account, we have a joint account. (I put him on my account after we married). Unbenounced to me, they went into my checking account seized it and took every penny I had. So yes..this does happen. Be carefull about who you have a joint checking account with, because It happend to me!
