Loumpos v. Bank One
A judgment creditor of one spouse sought to garnish a bank account originally opened by the husband alone, to which the wife was added months later on new signature cards designating "Joint Tenants by Entirety." The Second District held that neither Beal Bank nor section 655.79(1), Florida Statutes, abrogated the common law unities (possession, interest, title, time, survivorship, marriage) required to create a tenancy by the entireties, so the account lacking the unities of time and title was garnishable. It affirmed denial of the exemption claim and certified conflict with the Fourth District's decision in Versace v. Uruven, LLC.
