15persons opening or holding an account sign an agreement with
16the institution providing that on the death of the last
17surviving person designated as holder the account shall be
18paid to or held by one or more designated beneficiaries, the
19account, and any balance therein which exists from time to
20time, shall be held as a payment on death account and unless
21otherwise agreed in writing between the person or persons
22opening or holding the account and the institution:
23    (a) Any holder during his or her lifetime may change any of
24the designated beneficiaries to own the account at the death

 

 

HB2960- 50 -LRB102 13415 BMS 18759 b

1of the last surviving holder without the knowledge or consent
2of any other holder or the designated beneficiaries by a
3written instrument accepted by the institution;
4    (b) Any holder may make additional deposits to and
5withdraw any part or all of the account at any time without the
6knowledge or consent of any other holder or the designated
7beneficiaries to own the account at the death of the last
8surviving holder, subject to the bylaws and regulations of the
9institution, and all withdrawals shall constitute a revocation
10of the agreement as to the amount withdrawn; and

12account, the beneficiary designated to be the owner of the
13account (i) who is then living, if the beneficiary is a natural
14person, or (ii) that maintains a lawful existence under the
15state or federal authority pursuant to which it was organized,
16if the beneficiary is not a natural person, shall be the sole
17owner of the account. If , unless more than one beneficiary is
18so designated and then living or in existence, in which case
19those beneficiaries shall hold the account in equal shares as
20tenants in common with no right of survivorship as between
21those beneficiaries; and .
22    (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection
23(c), any holder of the account may elect a per stirpes
24distribution option to the descendants of a natural person
25beneficiary if the beneficiary predeceases the last surviving
26holder of the account. The institution may rely on the account

 

 

HB2960- 51 -LRB102 13415 BMS 18759 b

1holder's written representation of the identity of the
2descendants of each beneficiary living at the time of the
3beneficiary designation. The institution may also rely on an
4affidavit executed by a natural person beneficiary or
5descendant of a natural person beneficiary of the last
6surviving holder of the account upon or after the death of the
7account holder that identifies the descendants of any
8predeceased natural person beneficiary. The total percentage
9of the account to be distributed to all beneficiaries upon the
10death of the last surviving holder of the account must equal
11100%. If no beneficiary designated as the owner of the account
12on the death of the last surviving holder is then living or in
13existence, or if no descendant of a natural person beneficiary
14is then living if a per stirpes distribution has been
15selected, the proceeds shall vest in the estate of the last
16surviving holder of the account.
