Hi, I wanted to get information about the possibility of transferring money I have in Brazil in my account there to my US account, about $225,000.

If it's a gift or earned income it changes things.
The money would be used to pay for her funeral and what not
Not immediately for this. You can get it back later.

I am in New York resident with New York bank accounts. My bank will not release my funds and recognize my protection under EIPA $1740 exemption for basic living needs. Each account contained under $1,740. because it’s a California judgement. Are they acting lawfully? What are my options? Thanks
It depends where the levy was done. If it is a New York restraining notice, then EIPA applies. If it is a bank in CA, and the levy was done there under CA law, even though you live in NY and use an NY branch, CA law applies.
