Iowa Code Title XII. Business Entities [Chs. 486-504C] § 499.79. Statement to estate of members and stockholders

1. The board of directors, upon receiving actual notice of the death of a member or stockholder, shall provide a statement to the administrator or executor of the member's or stockholder's estate, or to the attorney representing such estate. The statement shall describe agricultural products owned by the member or stockholder which are in the possession of the association.

2. This section shall not require an association to conduct a search of the status of its members or stockholders. The association shall exercise reasonable diligence in determining to whom the statement must be delivered. The statement shall be delivered to the administrator, executor, or attorney, within thirty days following a determination as to whom the statement must be delivered. A statement is not required to be prepared or delivered, if the association is not notified of the member's or stockholder's death within one year after the date of death, or by the date that the member's or stockholder's estate is closed, whichever is later.
