§ 858. Ownership on Death of Owner.
On the death of a sole owner, or the last to die of all multiple
owners, ownership of securities registered in beneficiary form passes to
the beneficiary, or beneficiaries, who survive all owners. On proof of
death of all owners and compliance with any applicable requirements of
the registering entity, a security registered in beneficiary form may be
reregistered in the name of the beneficiary or beneficiaries who survived
the death of all owners. Until division of the security after the death of all
owners, multiple beneficiaries surviving the death of all owners hold
their interests as tenants in common. If no beneficiary survives the death
of all owners, the security belongs to the estate of the deceased sole
owner or the estate of the last to die of all multiple owners.
