Deposit accounts of incompetents
Official statutory text
When a deposit account is held in any association or federal
association by a person who becomes incompetent and an adjudication
of incompetency has been made by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such an association may pay or deliver the withdrawal value of such
deposit account and any earnings that may have accrued thereon to
the guardian or conservator for such person upon proof of the
appointment and qualification of such guardian or conservator.
However, if such association has received no written notice and is
not on actual notice that such deposit account holder has been
adjudicated incompetent, it may pay such funds to such holder or
transfer the deposit account on the order of the deposit account
holder, and such payment or transfer shall be a valid and sufficient
release and discharge of the association for the payment or transfer
so made.
