Section 13-4.7. Ownership on death of owner  


Latest version.
  • On  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.
