Any association may accept accounts in the name of one or more administrators, custodians,

or beneficiaries. (1) Any such fiduciary shall have such voting rights as are provided in section 126
of this act. 1 (2) Any such fiduciary shall have power to open such an account and to make a payment
or payments to, and to withdraw from any such account in whole or in part. (3) Unless the will or other instrument, or the court order or decree under which
such fiduciary is acting, provides otherwise, the withdrawal value of any such account,
and dividends thereon, or other rights relating thereto may be paid or delivered,
in whole or in part, to such fiduciary so long as such fiduciary is living. The payment or delivery to any such fiduciary or a receipt or acquittance signed
by any such fiduciary to whom any such payment or any such delivery of rights is made
shall be a valid and sufficient release and discharge of an association for the payment
or delivery so made. (4) Whenever a person holding an account in such a fiduciary capacity dies and no
written notice of the revocation or termination of the fiduciary relationship shall
have been given to an association and the association has no notice of any other disposition
of the beneficial estate, the withdrawal value of such account, and dividends thereon,
or other rights relating thereto may, at the option of the association, be paid or
delivered, in whole or in part, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries. (5) Where such an account is opened or subsequently held by more than one fiduciary
the association may accept payments made to such account and may pay any moneys to
the credit of such account from time to time to, or pursuant to the order of any one
or more of such cofiduciaries who shall be authorized in writing by all the cofiduciaries
to make such payments or withdrawals, unless the will or other instrument or the court
order or decree under which such cofiduciaries are acting otherwise provides. 1
