A bank account is "frozen" by the court upon request of the plaintiff or judgment creditor for a specific period of time. This action is sometimes used on joint accounts to give the account holders time to claim any exempt funds (SS benefits, monies belonging to a non judgment account holder, etc.) in the account before a bank account levy is granted. A bank account can only be "frozen" by court order or by the banking institution itself when there is proof that the account has been tampered with (identity theft, etc.) or other issues.
