That depends upon the laws of the state where you reside or where the bank account is. Normally, when a levy is placed on a bank account, the account is frozen and the account owner is given a certain amount of time to go to court to prove that the levy should not have been placed on the account. The money in the account will not be turned over to anyone until the court orders it. If the account owner fails to make an objection in court within the stated time period, the bank is allowed to assume that the owner has no objection and turn the account funds over to the creditor.
