Re: Estate/Wills
Once the bequest is deposited into your daughter's personal bank account with her other funds, it should be as attachable for back child support as any of her other monetary assets. (As to court fines, the state has other methods/means of collecting these without resort to seizing a debtor's bank account or garnishing wages.)
