2. “[a]llowing the creditor to reach the joint account only to the extent of the debtor's interest protects innocent parties. . . . [R]egardless of the type of account which the debtor owns, the only interest in the account subject to garnishment is the actual interest owned by the debtor. The creditor cannot reach any farther than the debtor could. The debtor should thus be allowed to prove the extent of his equitable interest in the joint account.”
