required for payment.
 Receipt of a notice of an adverse claim to a deposit or other account standing on the books of
any depository institution doing business in this state does not obligate the depository institution to
the adverse claimant, unless the notice is given pursuant to an appropriate court order, obtained
by the adverse claimant in a legal action instituted by the adverse claimant in which the person
to whose credit the deposit stands is made a party. Such depository institution may also pay the
adverse claim, if the claimant executes to the depository institution a good and sufficient bond
in double the amount claimed, indemnifying it from any and all liability, loss, damage, costs and
expenses including attorney fees for and on account of the payment of the adverse claim or the
dishonor of a check or other instrument of the person to whose credit the deposit stands on its
books.
