1. A credit union is not
bound to see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or
constructive, pursuant to which any deposit or share is subject.
2. Where any deposit or
share is subject to a trust of which the credit union has notice, the receipt
or order—
a.
of
the trustee in whose name the deposit or share stands; or
b.
if
the deposit or share stands in the names of 2 or more trustees, all those
trustees or any of them who, pursuant to the document creating the trust, may
be entitled to receive the deposit or share, is, notwithstanding any trust to
which the deposit or share is subject, a sufficient discharge for the payment
of any money payable in respect of the deposit or share, and the credit union
is not bound to see to the application of any money paid on the receipt or
order.

3. Notwithstanding any
neglect or omission on the part of a credit union to enter a proper description
in its books, no execution, administrator, guardian, committee or trustee who
is entered on the books of the credit union as a member, or who is described as
representing a named estate, trust or trust beneficiary in such capacity is
personally liable to the credit union with respect to the share that he
represents.
4. The estate or trust
beneficiary represented by a person described in subsection (3) continues to be
liable to the credit union in the same manner and to the same extent as if the
testator, minor, ward, person of unsound mind, beneficial trust or other trust
beneficiary were entered on the records of the credit union as the holder of
the shares.
