Liens on personl savings account, can the Franchise take it?

Profile picture for EUGENEHC
My adult child opened a savings account back in 95 with 50 dollars.  Over the years, I have put money into this account as a savings for myself. Yesterday, the Franchise Tax Board put a lien on my account & took my whole life savings. They are saying it has to do with my childs tax from 90. My child has been in jail now 13 years and never supplied a penny to put into this account. How can I get my money back?

If you own it, they can take it! Create a family trust and move all your bank accounts into it.
