§ 26-713 — ADVERSE CLAIM TO BANK DEPOSIT

Notice to any bank of an adverse claim to a deposit standing on its books to the credit of any person shall not require the bank to recognize the adverse claim unless the adverse claimant shall:
(1) Procure a restraining order, injunction or other appropriate process against the bank from a court of competent jurisdiction wherein the person to whose credit the deposit stands is made a party and served with summons; or
(2) Execute to said bank, in a form and with sureties acceptable to the bank, a bond indemnifying the bank from any and all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses for and on account of the payment of such adverse claim or the dishonor of the check or other order of the person to whose credit the deposit stands on the books of the bank.
This section shall not apply in any instance where the person to whose credit the deposit stands is a fiduciary for such adverse claimant, and the facts constituting such relationship and the facts showing reasonable cause for belief on the part of the claimant that the fiduciary is about to misappropriate the deposit, are made to appear by the affidavit of the claimant.
