Is a joint marital account exempt from creditors if the husband's salary is garnished in Florida?
Maybe, it depends upon how the account is established. Florida allows a married couple to hold real property and assets (bank accounts) as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means that if only one spouse is the judgment debtor property held by both spouses is exempt from creditor attachment. However, the signature card/account application must state that the account is held as TBE for the exemption to be valid. Please be advised, this does not mean that a direct deposit of wages would not be subject to garnishment. The garnishment writ is served to the employer and the garnishment amount would be subtracted from any auto deposit before it was made.
