When creditor process enforceable against bank
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(a) Subject to subsection (b) of this section, creditor process with respect to a special deposit is not enforceable against the bank holding
the special deposit.
(b) Creditor process is enforceable against the bank holding a special deposit with respect to an amount the bank is obligated to pay a
beneficiary or a depositor if the process:
(1) Is served on the bank;
(2) Provides sufficient information to permit the bank to identify the depositor or the beneficiary from the bank's books and records;
and
(3) Gives the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on the process.
(c) Creditor process served on a bank before it is enforceable against the bank under subsection (b) of this section does not create a right
of the creditor against the bank or a duty of the bank to the creditor. Other law determines whether creditor process creates a lien
enforceable against the beneficiary on a contingent interest of a beneficiary, including a depositor as a beneficiary, even if not enforceable
against the bank.
