(1) Subject to Section 34-28-500, deposit accounts may be opened or deposits made and held by, or in trust or other fiduciary capacity for, any person, political subdivision, public unit, or governmental unit. Savings accounts are transferable only on the books of the association after proper written application by the transferee and acceptance by the association of the transferee as an account holder. The association may treat the holder of record of a savings account as the owner thereof for all purposes without being affected by a notice to the contrary unless the association has acknowledged in writing notice of a pledge of the savings account. (2) Each account holder shall execute a deposit account contract setting forth any special terms and provisions; however, the ownership thereof and the conditions upon which withdrawals may be made may not be inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. (3) An account book, separate certificate, written statement, card, device, or other evidence, or means of access of identity, evidencing the ownership of the account must be issued to each savings account holder of record as shown by the books of the association. (4) Upon the filing with an association by the holder of record as shown by the books of the association, or by his legal representative, of an affidavit to the effect that the evidence of ownership of a savings account with the association has been lost or destroyed and that the evidence of ownership has not been pledged or assigned in whole or in part, the association shall issue a new evidence of ownership in the name of the holder of record, the evidence stating that it is issued in lieu of the one lost or destroyed, provided that the board of directors may require a bond in an amount it deems sufficient to indemnify the association against any loss which might result from the issuance of a new evidence of ownership.
