(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 KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512.
(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 KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512.
(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 KRS 292.6507 and does so in good faith reliance:
(a) On the registration;
(b) On KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512; and
(c) 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 KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512 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 KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512.
(4) The protection provided by KRS 292.6501 to 292.6512 to the registering entity of a security does not affect the rights of the beneficiaries in disputes between themselves and other claimants to ownership of the security transferred or its value or proceeds.
