A court will need to lift the "freeze" order before funds can be removed from the attached account.

If the account does not belong to the deceased it is unlikely that a request for release will be granted unless the requester can provide documentation that there is no other means to obtain burial funds.

If a freeze was put on your checking account because of a debt how long after you pay it will the freeze be taken off?
A bank account can only be seized by the excution of a judgment writ by the court. The funds can usually be held for a maximum of thirty days, for a ruling to be made on the amount that can be taken. If the debt is paid in full, the account should be reactivated within a reasonable time, generally 2 business days. Unless the account could be used as an offset for monies owed the bank where the account is held. The bank can then claim the entire amount in the account and future deposits to pay the debt.

Can a creditor freeze bank accounts and how long does it take?
A creditor can freeze bank accounts in some instances. Generally, an outside creditor that is not the government can not freeze your personal bank accounts unless they have some court order allowing this. However, if the creditor is also your bank they may have "right of offset" written into their account agreements. This gives them the right to freeze funds or use the funds to offset a delinquent loan or to force the monthly payment. THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR REAL ESTATE LOANS IN "ONE ACTION" STATES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA. In these circumstances a lender is only allowed to do one thing against you to get repayment. If they touch your bank account they loose to option of foreclosure. The IRS may levy your account for taxes owed. The amount of time these things take depends on the situation.
In Georgia can a judgment creditor take money from your bank account?
Yes. A bank account can be levied by the judgment creditor even if the account is jointly held. If the account is joint and only one of the account holder's is the named judgment debtor, the non debtor account holder must submit proof to the court as to the amount of funds belonging to them in order to protect those funds from being seized. When it concerns such joint account the court will generally freeze the account and allow the non debtor a specified amount of time to claim his or her exempt funds that are in the account.
