2021 New York Laws EPT - Estates, Powers and Trusts Article 13 - Other Provisions Affecting Estates Part 4 - Transfer-on-Death Security Registration 13-4.8 - Protection of Registering Entity

§ 13-4.8 Protection of registering entity  (a)  A  registering  entity  is  not  required to offer or to accept a request for security registration in beneficiary form. If a registration in beneficiary form is  offered  by  a  registering  entity,  the  owner requesting  registration  in beneficiary form assents to the protections given to the registering entity by this part.  (b)  By  accepting  a  request  for  registration  of  a  security  in beneficiary  form,  the  registering entity agrees that the registration will be implemented on death of the deceased owner as provided  in  this part.  (c)  A  registering entity is discharged from all claims to a security by the estate,  creditors,  distributees,  legatees  or  devisees  of  a deceased  owner if it registers a transfer of the security in accordance with section 13-4.7 and does so  in  good  faith  reliance  (i)  on  the registration, (ii) on this part, and (iii) on information provided to it by affidavit of the personal representative of the deceased owner, or by the   surviving   beneficiary   or   by   the   surviving  beneficiary's representatives, or  other  information  available  to  the  registering entity.  The  protections of this part do not extend to a reregistration or payment made after a registering entity has received  written  notice from  any  claimant  to  any  interest  in  the  security  objecting  to implementation of a registration in beneficiary form. No other notice or other information available to the registering entity affects its  right to protection under this part.  (d)  The protection provided by this part to the registering entity of a security does not affect  the  rights  of  beneficiaries  in  disputes between  themselves  and  other  claimants  to ownership of the security transferred or its value or proceeds.

§ 13-4.10 Terms, conditions, and forms  (a)   A   registering  entity  offering  to  accept  registrations  in beneficiary form may establish the terms and conditions under  which  it will  receive  requests  (i)  for registrations in beneficiary form, and (ii) for implementation of registration in beneficiary  form,  including requests  for  cancellation  of  previously  registered  TOD beneficiary designations and requests for  reregistration  to  effect  a  change  of beneficiary.  The  terms  and  conditions so established may provide for proving death, avoiding or resolving any problems concerning  fractional shares,   designating   primary   and   contingent   beneficiaries,  and substituting a named beneficiary's descendants to take in the  place  of the   named  beneficiary  in  the  event  of  the  beneficiary's  death. Substitution may be indicated by appending to the name  of  the  primary beneficiary  in  letters  LDPS,  standing  for  "lineal  descendants per stirpes", or in  letters  LDPR,  standing  for  "lineal  descendants  by representation".  This  designation substitutes a deceased beneficiary's descendants who survive the owner for a  beneficiary  who  fails  to  so survive,  the  descendants  to  be identified and to share in accordance with the  law  of  the  beneficiary's  domicile  at  the  owner's  death governing  inheritance  by  descendants  of an intestate. Other forms of identifying beneficiaries who are to take on one or more  contingencies, and  rules  for  providing  proofs  and  assurances  needed  to  satisfy reasonable concerns by registering  entities  regarding  conditions  and identities  relevant  to  accurate  implementation  of  registrations in beneficiary form, may be contained in a registering entity's  terms  and conditions.  (b)  The  following  are illustrations of registrations in beneficiary form which a registering entity may authorize:  (1) Sole owner-sole beneficiary: John S Brown  TOD  (or  POD)  John  S Brown Jr.  (2) Multiple owners-sole beneficiary: John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr.  (3) Multiple owners-primary and secondary (substituted) beneficiaries: John  S  Brown  Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr SUB BENE Peter Q Brown or John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr LDPS.
