Can NY courts levy on a NJ bank account?

Answer 1

Yes, New York courts can potentially levy on a New Jersey bank account, but it involves a legal process. Typically, the creditor would need to obtain a judgment in New York and then seek to enforce that judgment in New Jersey, which may involve filing in a New Jersey court. New Jersey law will govern the enforcement process, and the creditor may need to follow specific procedures to levy the account. Additionally, certain exemptions may apply depending on the nature of the funds in the account.
