If it is a joint account yes. If that persons Social Security number is tied to that account it can be taken. If they are taking it for a lien or garnishment the best solution is to close the account and open it in one name only. The name of the person not being garnished.

If she is a joint account holder the account would now belong to her.

Are you entitled to half of a joint bank account?

No, you have an undivided interest in the entire bank account and it is up to you and the other joint tenants of the account to agree how the account will be used.

If you die before one or more other joint tenants, you and your estate have no further claim to the account, even if it was entirely your money that was deposited.
