Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 162.050 — Transfer of negotiable instrument by fiduciary, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 162.050. Transfer of negotiable instrument by fiduciary
If any negotiable instrument payable or endorsed to a fiduciary as such is endorsed
by the fiduciary, or if any negotiable instrument payable or endorsed to his or her
principal is endorsed by a fiduciary empowered to endorse such instrument on behalf
of the principal, the endorsee is not bound to inquire whether the fiduciary is committing
a breach of his or her obligation as fiduciary in endorsing or delivering the instrument,
and is not chargeable with notice that the fiduciary is committing a breach of his
or her obligation as fiduciary unless the endorsee takes the instrument with actual
knowledge of such breach or with knowledge of such facts that this action in taking
the instrument amounts to bad faith. If, however, such instrument is transferred by the fiduciary in payment of or as security
for a personal debt of the fiduciary to the actual knowledge of the creditor, or is
transferred in any transaction known by the transferee to be for the personal benefit
of the fiduciary, the creditor or other transferee is liable to the principal if the
fiduciary in fact commits a breach of his or her obligation as fiduciary in transferring
the instrument.
