HUH? A girl named SUE got in trouble? Welp reckon I wont name my daughter SUE if they all get their bank accounts frozen! Thanks for the tip!

Now for a serious response: Revise your question in a more specific way that relates to the true nature of this inquiry. As it stands, your missing some other information required to make a solid response. Was this forced thru a judgement? ..Are the joint holders married? Is this a business Account?

And of course, we don't need an answer to those other questions to answer this one correctly....
The answer is yes. A judgment creditor can seize a joint account even with a judgment against only one of the owners. However, the 'other' account holder(s) can file a 'challenge' with the court and request a hearing. Read the papers you got with the notice of garnishment.
