Of course it would help to know what state you are in, however in most states:

Only the party that holds the account can access it. In the event the account holder is incapacitated or terminally ill, then it would be the next of kins responsibility to appoint a "gaurdian-ad-litem".

The name of this may vary in your state but the purpose is the same. You request the court for permission to handle the incapacitated persons affairs. That is assuming they do not have a living will. In that event a person has been named and a directive has been introduced.

Once the individual dies their Last Will (testate) will have specific bequest as to money, property (real and personal), bonds, etc...

If their is no will (intestate) then the next of kin needs to file a list of heirs with the probate court in the jurisdiction where the decedent resided.

Gets complicated from here.... hope this helped

Does a creditor have to have a court order for garnish a bank account?

Yes. A creditor can not just simply walk into a bank and demand your money. Only a court can have a creditor take money from your bank account. Actually, the court would probably order the bank to pay a certain amount to the creditor from your account rather than give the creditor the right to take money out of your account. A supreme court decision stopped that racket in Arizona.


Can a bank account in Delaware be levied for a court judgment?

Yes, a bank account in Delaware can be levied for a court judgment. If a creditor obtains a judgment against a debtor, they can potentially freeze or garnish funds in the debtor's Delaware bank account to satisfy the debt. It is important for debtors to be aware of their rights and seek legal counsel to understand the implications of a court judgment on their assets.

What overrides a will?

I assume this question refers to transferring a decedent's property to someone other than the person named in the will. Remember that a will transfers property owned by the decedent alone. Essentially, the only thing that "overrides" the will is jointly owned property and even that does not always do it. If a will gives all of a decent's property to say 2 children, but the decedent's money was in a joint bank account with only 1 of the children, then the money in that account belongs to the joint owner. There are exceptions though. If that money is needed to pay the decedent's debts, then it can be recovered by the estate in an amount equal to the unpaid debt. Another exception is if it can be proved that all the money in the account belonged to the decedent and that the account was set up as a joint account solely for purposes of having the joint owner take care of paying the decedent's bills and if the decedent did not intend for the joint owner to get that money alone, then the account is a "convenience account" and may be recovered by the estate. So in those 2 instances a joint bank account will not override the will.
