If you are living with your ex-husband and added him to your checking account and he has a judgment against him can your checking account be frozen without notice?

If a writ of judgment has been granted it is a fairly simple process to execute it against nonexempt property belonging to the defendant. Generally when a bank account is levied the parties involved receive one business day notice. This however is not required in many states, so indeed the account can be seized w/o notification. Not all states allow joint accounts to be attached, therefore the persons involved should consult the state laws governing this issue. The best option to avoid any problems would be to remove the person from the account asap, which is perfectly legal.

He cannot remove your name from the account. However, he can close the account and then open a new account with the money. Just remember this can work both ways.

Most of the time it depends on who makes it to the bank first to close out the account.

To remove an ex from a checking account, you typically need the cooperation of both parties involved. Contact your bank to discuss the process and requirements for removing someone from the account.

When a judgment has been made against a person will this affect checking or savings accounts in Michigan?

A writ of judgment can be used to levy a checking or savings account that belongs to the debtor. Joint accounts can be partially protected but the other account holder must file the proper documents with the court where the judgment was granted. The bank has no obligation to notify the account holder(s) that the account has been levied. The account holder(s) should remove funds and close the account if at all possible. This can only be done BEFORE the judgment has been executed.

Yes. The Power of Attorney entitles the holder of the same to do anything he/she wants with respect to the activities of the person who has given the power. i.e., the holder of POA can be the proxy and dispose off duties of the person who issued the POA. So, they can very well remove a person from a joint account held by the person who has given the POA.

How do you remove a name from joint account when a person is no more?

You need to take the death certificate of the person who is no more to the bank and submit it to them along with your details. After verification the bank will remove their name from the joint account and make you the sole beneficiary. In case the other person has a different legal heir, then you may need an No Objection Certificate from them before the account becomes your single operated account.
