If she states in her will that her husband shall receive that account he will. She may leave it to anyone she chooses. If she dies without a will it will pass as intestate property according to the laws of your state. See the link provided below for state-by-state intestacy laws.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?
No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.

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.

It depends on the laws of your jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your situation. Credit card companies typically have the right to freeze accounts and seek payment for outstanding debts. However, if your husband is not personally liable for the debt and the funds in your joint account are solely his, you may have grounds to challenge the freeze. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in this matter.
