Bank Account Seizure Defense

When the IRS seizes funds directly from a bank account, there’s often a short window, typically about 21 days, from when the bank is notified before the funds are actually turned over to the IRS. Acting within that window can mean the difference between recovering the money and losing it permanently. 

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. moves immediately in bank seizure cases, contacting the IRS to challenge the seizure or negotiate a release before funds are transferred, and pursuing recovery options if the seizure has already been completed. 

What we handle:

• Emergency intervention during the holding period before funds are seized 
• Challenging seizures made in error or in violation of proper notice requirements 
• Negotiating a partial or full release of seized funds 
• Pursuing recovery of funds already turned over to the IRS where grounds exist 
• Putting a resolution in place to prevent future account seizures

Why it matters:

Once the holding period ends, recovering seized funds becomes far more difficult. If your account has been hit with a seizure notice, the timeline to act is measured in days, not weeks. 

Contact Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. today to schedule a consultation immediately if your bank account has been seized or noticed for seizure.
