If the account has enough funds for the entire debt to be paid then that amount will be withdrawn once the lien has been approved by the court. In some states the judgment order will show the amount subject to seizure at a specific time. Generally the creditor who is leining the account must have permission from the court for each withdrawal made.
In situations where the account is held jointly and only one person is the named as the judgment debtor the non-debtor account holder must file a petition with the court to protect his or her share of the funds in the account. A few states allow a married couple to hold a bank account in Tenancy By The Entirety, which could allow the account to be exempt from levy if only one spouse is the judgment debtor.
The procedure for protecting monies in an account subject to lien are somewhat complicated and it would be in the best interest of the liened debtor to seek qualified legal advice/representation if possible.

How many times can a bank account be levied?
In general a bank account is subject to judgment levy every 30 days until the debt is paid. The judgment creditor must renew/refile the bank levy each time before it can be implemented. A bank account levy can allow the judgment holder to remove the total amount owed at one time. If the account balance does not hold enough funds to pay the entire amount the judgment holder in most instances can still remove the entire balance of the account. Please consult the laws of the state of residency or where the account is held for specific information. Some states only allow a one time levy where the judgment cannot be renewed and the creditor has to repeat the civil suit process. Likewise, jointly held accounts are treated differently when it relates to judgment levies than single accounts.

Can a joint bank account between a mother and son be levied by a judgment creditor when only the son is the debtor?
Yes. Judgments can be executed against joint accounts with the exception of accounts held by a married couple as Tenancy By The Entirety when only one spouse is the debtor. The usual procedure is for the account to be frozen and the non debtor account holder filing a motion with the court to have the portion of funds belonging to them released. The best option if the debtor believes he or she may be sued, is to remove themselves from the account to avoid the joint holder being penalized. If the debtor has received a civil summons or a judgment has already been awarded, then no action can be taken in regards to the account to prevent attachment by the judgment creditor.

Bank Accounts are frozen by bank authorities or law enforcement agencies when they sense some illegal or suspicious activity in the account. In such a case, you will be able to find out the details from the bank.

Bank accounts are also frozen by a court order subsequent to a judgment in favor of a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit. You must satisfy the judgment in order to obtain a release of your account and the plaintiff must make a return to the court stating that the judgment has been satisfied. The satisfaction of judgment must then be served to the bank.
