Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Nevada

I owe credit card debt. I have a UGTMA(Uniform Gift to Minors Account) savings account in her name that I am listed as the guardian. The amount is less than $7,ooo. Can the collections agency obtain a judgment to take the money from the account. The account was opened about 1.5 years ago.
