Any trust company acting in any capacity under a court or private trust or when acting in such capacity with one or more persons as cofiduciary or cofiduciaries, unless the instrument creating such trust contains a provision to the contrary, may, with the consent of such cofiduciary or cofiduciaries cause any stock or other securities held in any such capacity to be registered in the name of a nominee or nominees of such trust company and any trust company when acting as depositary or
custodian for the trustee of any other court or private trust, unless the instrument creating the trust contains a provision to the contrary, may, with the consent of the trustee of such other trust, cause any stock or other securities held by it in such capacity to be registered in the name of a nominee or nominees of such trust company. Any such trust company shall be liable for any loss occasioned by the acts of any nominee of such trust company with respect to such stock or other securities so registered. The records of such trust company shall at all times show the ownership of any such stock or other securities and of those held in bearer form. Such stock or other securities and those held in bearer form shall at all times be kept by such trust company separate and apart from its other assets and may be kept by such trust company:
(a)
In a manner such that all certificates representing the stock or other securities from time to time
constituting the assets of a particular estate, trust or other fiduciary account are held separate from those of all other estates, trusts or accounts; or
(b)
In a manner such that, without certification as to ownership attached, certificates representing stock or other securities of the same class of the same issuer and from time to time constituting assets of particular estates, trusts or other fiduciary accounts are held in bulk, including, to the extent feasible, the merging of certificates of small denomination into one or more certificates of large denomination, provided that a trust company, when operating under the method of safekeeping security certificates described in this subdivision, shall be subject to such rules and regulations as, in the case of state chartered institutions, the commissioner and, in the case of national bank associations, the Comptroller of the Currency, may from time to time issue. Such trust company shall, on
demand by any party to an accounting by such trust company as fiduciary or on demand by the attorney for such party, certify in writing the stock or other securities held by such trust company as such fiduciary for such party.
No domestic or foreign corporation or the registrar or transfer agent of any such corporation shall be liable for registering or causing to be registered on the books of such corporation any share or shares or other securities in the name of any nominee of such trust company or for transferring or causing to be transferred on the books of any such corporation any share or shares or other securities theretofore registered by such corporation in the name of any nominee of such trust company as herein provided when the transfer is made upon the authorization of such nominee.
