Speak with the bank rep or bank manager; and have them remove the person as a signer to the account and then you will have to resign a new signature account.

What happen if the seconary bank holder dies?

It seems like you are asking what happens when one joint account holder dies. I believe that most joint bank accounts are set up so that the surviving account holder would have legal possession of the full balance, the same as he did before the death of the other joint account holder.


Can the lady friend of your just deceased uncle freeze his bank account?

If she is a joint account holder the account would now belong to her. If there is no joint account holder then the account would be legally frozen until an Administrator is appointed for your uncle's estate. Until then no one has any authority to access his bank account. You should make certain the bank has been notified of his death.

It depends on how the account is held. Generally joint accounts are held JTWRS, Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship, this means when one account holder dies, their share of funds automatically passes to the other account holder(s)and is not subject to taxation or probate procedure.


Can one person remove the other persons name from a joint checking account?

Is a bank account levy good for only one time or will the account holder have to forfeit the funds of every paycheck?

In the majority of U.S. states a bank account levy is valid for one withdrawal withing 30 days of the date of execution. If the debt is not satisfied the judgment holder must refile the judgment as another bank levy. Generally a bank account levy can only be executed once 60-90 days after the original action. Unfortunately, in most cases the judgment holder can remove whatever amount necessary from the account to pay the debt, even if that means the account holder is left with no funds. This is only one reason that a bank account levy can be so damaging. Specific laws apply to joint accounts as to how and when the account can be levied when only one account holder is the judgment debtor.

How do you get any credit card benefits if one of credit card holder has died?

If you are a joint account holder you can still use the card. The creditor should be notified of the death of the other account holder. They may simply remove the person from the account or require you to open a new account in your name. However, if you are the joint holder you are responsible for the entire amount owed on the account.

Can a joint bank account be levied by a judgment creditor when only one account holder is the debtor?

Yes. Usually when a joint account is garnished by a judgment order and only one person on the account is the debtor, the court will 'freeze' the account and the non debtor account holder will need to submit proof of the amount of funds in the account that belongs to them. An exception could be,if the account is held by a married couple as Tenancy By The Entirety and only one spouse is the debtor.

Bank levy on a joint account?

A judgment creditor might be able to levy against a joint account where only one account holder is the debtor. It really depends how the bank account is held and the state laws pertaining to such. One example, joint marital bank accounts held in community property states are subject to levy even if only one spouse is the named debtor.

If you have a joint savings account and the other party on the account dies must the remaining holder of the account place the entire amount into probate?

No. A joint account has the benefit of survivorship. That means if one owner dies the account becomes the sole property of the survivor bypassing probate.
