Conclusive proof to the bank of the letters and of the jurisdiction of the court rendering them shall result from copies thereof, duly certified when rendered by a court of this state, or certified according to the Acts of Congress when rendered by a court of any other state, or certified according to the law of the place when rendered by a court of any possession or dependency of the United States, or certified according to the law of the place with the genuineness of the certification attested by a consular agent of the United States when rendered by a court of any foreign country.

C. The receipt to be obtained by the bank may be in any form, but it shall be signed by the legal representative and accompanied by a certified copy of the letters issued to the legal representative of the minor or interdict.
