ORS 59.570
Protection of registering entity
(1)
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 ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title).(2)
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 ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title).(3)
A registering entity is discharged from all claims to a security by the estate, creditors, heirs or devisees of a deceased owner if it registers a transfer of the security in accordance with ORS 59.565 (Ownership on death of owner) and does so in good faith reliance on the registration, on ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title) and 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 ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title) 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 ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title).(4)
The protection provided by ORS 59.535 (Definitions for ORS 59.535 to 59.585) to 59.585 (Short title) 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.
