What is an Account Freeze?

Sometimes in divorce proceedings specific accounts, jointly owned or otherwise, can be frozen. Accounts might be frozen at the death of the account owner as well, in which case the beneficiary can have a new account established. This might also be called a “hold” on the account, or an account suspension. A more official word used in government affairs might be “moratorium.”
