Payment to designated agent.

A financial institution, on request of an agent under an agency designation for an account, may pay to the agent sums on deposit in the account, whether or not a party is disabled, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased when the request is made or received, and whether or not the authority of the agent terminates on the death, disability, incompetency, or incapacity of a party.

(Acts 1997, No. 97-644, p. 1177, §1.)
