Unless your signature card or account opening documents so designate, where two or more individuals are designated or appear on a signature card as owners of such account, then as between them, we will treat the owners as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. For any joint account where a joint owner has died, we reserve the right not to release funds in the account until all legal documents are delivered to us. You agree to notify us of the death of any joint other owner and to reimburse us for any tax we may be required to pay by reason of our payment or release of funds in the account to you. Any joint owner may close the account. We may, at our sole discretion, act upon such other instructions of any joint owner, including withdrawing funds or adding or removing any signature or other joint owner to or from the account, without the signature of the other joint owner(s). However, However we are under no obligation to observe such instruction, and may do so or refuse to do so without liability. We may also pay all or any part of the funds in the account to any of the joint owners upon request of that joint owner or to a court or governmental agency upon receipt of a garnishment order, tax levy or similar legal process identifying any one of the joint owners. All joint account owners will be jointly and severally liable for all overdrawn accounts, whether or not that particular owner initiated a withdrawal request or other transaction drawn against insufficient funds which we honored, withdrew funds credited to an account which were made available based upon a deposited item which was subsequently returned unpaid, or whether such owner received benefit from a transaction which resulted, directly or indirectly, in such overdraft. If the account is opened as an estate account, trust account, guardianship or conservatorship account, or other similar type of account, we reserve the right to require such documents or authorizations as we may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to satisfy us that the person requesting or directing the withdrawal of funds held in the account has the authority to withdraw such funds. We shall be held harmless for refusing to pay or release funds in the account where such refusal is based on the failure of the person requesting or directing the withdrawal to provide documents or authorizations requested by us. If you establish your account as "in trust for" ("ITF") or as trustee for a third person without presenting formal trust documents, then we may treat the account as a Xxxxxx Trust account or as otherwise required by the laws of your state. P.O.D. (Payable on Death) and Xxxxxx Trust accounts are accounts which are payable on request to a depositor during the depositor’s lifetime and upon the depositor’s death to one or more designated beneficiaries or payees, or which are payable to two or more depositors during their lifetime and upon death of all depositors to one or more designated beneficiaries or payees. Prior to the death of all depositors to the account, the Bank may pay funds in accordance with your account agreement along with this Deposit Account Disclosure Statement and Agreement. When the Bank has received proof satisfactory to the Bank of the death of all depositors to the account who, pursuant to the terms of the account agreement, were required to predecease the beneficiary or payee, the Bank may pay any funds remaining on deposit after payment of any amounts due Bank from depositor that accrue or related to a transaction initiated by depositor prior to such depositor’s death in the account to the beneficiary or payee. If there is more than one beneficiary or payee, the Bank shall not, unless the account agreement otherwise provides, pay to any such beneficiary or payee more than that amount which is obtained by dividing the total of the funds on deposit in the account by the number of beneficiaries or payees, but the Bank require, at its option, joint instructions of, or payments to, all beneficiaries or payees. We may, at its option require you to close your account and open a new one if you wish to change (add, delete or of change allocation among) any death beneficiary and in such case, if Bank no longer offers the account type which you currently have, you may be required to select a new account type, which may include different fees, interest, interest and other features. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to NY accounts, Bank, will require your account to be closed and a new account opened to add or delete beneficiaries or to change any allocation among beneficiaries. If you have opened an account as custodian for a minor beneficiary under a state's Uniform Transfers/ Gifts to Minors Act, you will not be allowed to pledge the account as collateral for a personal loan to you or cash checks against the account, except as otherwise permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the relationship between you and the Bank is one of debtor/creditor, not fiduciary, even if the account is titled as a "fiduciary" account with that role being played by you. You agree that if your account is identified as one offered only to individuals or unincorporated non-business associations, it shall not be used for a business purpose.
