Subd. 3.Effect of affidavit.
An affidavit by a custodian under this section is conclusive proof that the custodian has not resigned or been removed as custodian prior to executing the conveyance and that the custodianship has not terminated, or that if the custodianship has terminated, the conveyance is to the minor or to the personal representative of the minor's estate. However, the affidavit is not conclusive as to a party dealing directly with the custodian who has actual knowledge that the custodian has resigned or been removed or that the custodianship has terminated and the conveyance is not to the minor or the personal representative of the minor's estate.
