Statute Text
Terms,
conditions and forms for registration.
(1) A registering entity offering to accept registrations in beneficiary form
may establish the terms and conditions under which it will receive requests for
registrations in beneficiary form and for implementation of registrations in
beneficiary form, including requests for cancellation of previously registered
TOD beneficiary designations and requests for reregistration to effect a change
of beneficiary. The terms and conditions so established may provide for proving
death, avoiding or resolving any problems concerning fractional shares,
designating primary and contingent beneficiaries and substituting a named
beneficiarys descendants to take in the place of the named beneficiary in the
event of the beneficiarys death. Substitution may be indicated by appending to
the name of the primary beneficiary the letters LDPS, standing for lineal
descendants per stirpes. This designation substitutes a deceased beneficiarys
descendants who survive the owner for a beneficiary who fails to so survive,
the descendants to be identified and to share in accordance with the law of the
beneficiarys domicile at the owners death governing inheritance by
descendants of an intestate. Other forms of identifying beneficiaries who are
to take on one or more contingencies, and rules for providing proofs and
assurances needed to satisfy reasonable concerns by registering entities
regarding conditions and identities relevant to accurate implementation of
registrations in beneficiary form, may be contained in a registering entitys
terms and conditions.
