§ 6:1256 — Effect of payment to minor or fiduciary

Louisiana § 6:1256

• Jurisdiction: Louisiana
• Title 6: Banks and Banking

Text

A. Unless the written agreement provides otherwise, or unless the savings bank has had written notice of the terms under which a fiduciary holds a withdrawable account, the savings bank may make loans on the security of withdrawable accounts or pay the value thereof and interest thereon to any minor who is a holder of such withdrawable account or to such fiduciary who is the holder of such account without becoming liable to any beneficiary for such payment. In each of the foregoing instances, the receipt or acquittance of the person or persons to whom payment is made in accordance with the provisions of this Part shall be a complete discharge of the savings bank's obligation as to the amount so paid.
B. In the case of a minor, the receipt, acquittance, pledge, or other action required by the savings bank to be taken by the minor shall be binding upon such minor with like effect as if such minor were of full age and legal capacity.
