If your husband is on this account because he's on the

Joint Account with Right of Survivorship: the joint account-holder becomes Joint Owner & can write checks & withdraw money from the bank or broker account or make investment decisions without knowledge or permission of other Joint Owner; easy to create; no legal expenses incurred upon creation nor upon death of Owner; no need for death certificate unless Tax Identif. Number must be changed.

And the money is primarily hers or if he attributes money for her home expenses and your not on the account then the two of them decide your using this money without their knowledge and report you, YES you could get in trouble, it's called Stealing, fraud, money laundering.

My checking and savings account have been frozen by a credit card company. My husband's name is not on this debt but we have a joint checking account. Can they take all of our money?

If it is a joint account, they can take the funds in that account. Depending on which state you live in, there are different exemption rules. In Michigan, they can take all the funds, even if the account is joint, as long as it has your name on it. If your husband had an account with his name only (which is what you may want to set up immediately), then they could not take those funds. Your husband is not legally responsible for your credit card debts if your name is the only name on the credit card. Check with your state's laws regarding collection and exemptions.

If your sister leaves you money and you put it in a separate account is your husband intitled to a portion of it in NYS?

If YOU are the inheritor of a portion of an estate it does not automatically become community property. It is YOU that was named, not you and your husband. CAUTION: the question states that it is in a separate account - do not inter-mingle these funds with other "household" money or accounts.


I have a joint account with my mother and father upon their death can i withdraw the funds?

Yes, you can do that. Since you are the joint holder of the bank accounts of your mother and father, you can very well withdraw funds from the account. However it is better to provide your parents' death certificate to the bank and convert them into single holding accounts because your parents are deceased and they can no longer use the accounts.

Can the estranged wife have a bank account frozen that is jointly held by her husband and his sister?

Not without a court order. In most instances the only time a court would issue such an order would be in relation to child support arrearages. Even in cases where the husband removed funds from a joint marital account and opened an account with his sister using those funds, the wife would have to file a lawsuit to attempt to recover her portion, (attempt being the key word).


If your husband was his deceased father's bank account nominee how do you recover the account funds?

If the named person is not a joint account holder with rights of survivorship the bank account monies will become the property of the probate court and be distributed according to succession law of the state where account holder resided at the time of his or her death.
