Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  A registering entity is not required to offer or to accept a
request for security registration in beneficiary form.  If a
registration in beneficiary form is offered by a registering entity,
the owner requesting registration in beneficiary form assents to the
protections given to the registering entity by this act.
B.  By accepting a request for registration of a security in
beneficiary form, the registering entity agrees that the
registration will be implemented on death of the owner as provided
in this act.
C.  1.  A registering entity is discharged from all claims to a
security by the estate, creditors, heirs, or devisees of a deceased

owner if it registers a transfer of the security in accordance with
Section 7 of this act and does so in good faith reliance on:
a. the registration,
b. this act, and
c. information provided to it by affidavit of the
personal representative of the deceased owner, or by
the surviving beneficiary or by the surviving
beneficiary's representatives, or other information
available to the registering entity;
2.  The protections of this act do not extend to a
reregistration or payment made after a registering entity has
received written notice from any claimant to any interest in the
security objecting to implementation of a registration in
beneficiary form.  No other notice or other information available to
the registering entity affects its right to protection under this
act.
D.  The protection provided by this act to the registering
entity of a security does not affect the rights of beneficiaries in
disputes between themselves and other claimants to ownership of the
security transferred or its value or proceeds.
