<prompt> Human: Someone I knows family received an insurance settlement in a wrongful death case. In their state, the settlement can only go to the parents as a split. One of the parents owes some back taxes and is worried when they deposit it, that the account could be seized. They were told by a few banks that they would not be able to sign over the check to one of the children so they could deposit it, or open a new account with the check in the childs name. Is there a way around this?  <response>: One of the parents owes some back taxes and is worried when they deposit it, that the account could be seized.The entire account wouldnt be seized, but the government may take a portion of it to settle the back taxes that are owed.Is there a way around this?Pay the back taxes.
