• applying the presumption of equal ownership in garnishment action seeking to establish debtor's interest in property held in joint tenancy
• where creditor seeks to garnish account jointly held by debtor and non-debtor, the “presumption of equal ownership should prevail in the absence of proof of ownership in some other proportion”
