Investment in undivided interest in property
Official statutory text
(a) A bank may, subject to the limitations of this section, create undivided interests in property of any nature for the purpose of sale from time to time to accounts held by the bank in any fiduciary capacity. The bank may retain a portion of the undivided interests for its own account if the property is one that it would be authorized to acquire pursuant to this chapter wholly for its own account. (b) The limitations on the undivided interest shall be: (1) The interest shall be one that: (A) The bank would be authorized to acquire pursuant to this chapter and chapter 1 of this title wholly for its own account, and, in the absence of broader investment powers under the terms upon which it was designated as fiduciary, would also be authorized to acquire as a legal investment for funds held by fiduciaries; or (B) The bank would be authorized to acquire as an investment by the terms upon which it was designated as fiduciary of each account in which it acquires an undivided interest; (2) Interests not retained by the bank may be sold only to a fiduciary account. (c) The bank shall exercise all rights of ownership in respect of an interest in which undivided interests have been sold pursuant to this section, and in respect of any property acquired by foreclosure or otherwise in connection with the interest, in its own name but for the benefit of itself and all other owners of the undivided interests in the property. (d) The bank shall at all times maintain records of all undivided interests created pursuant to this section showing the extent of the undivided interest of each owner of the interest. (e) The bank may issue a certificate evidencing each undivided interest created pursuant to this section, keep records showing the holders of the certificates, provide for transfer of a certificate by the registered holder of the certificate upon surrender of the certificate and deal with the registered holder of a certificate as the owner of the undivided interest represented by the certificate. Each certificate shall contain a summary of the rights of an owner of the undivided interest represented thereby and expressly disclaim any guarantee by the bank of payment of any amount. Acts 1969, ch. 36, § 1 (3.233); T.C.A., § 45-425.
