TITLE 53 WILLS, TRUSTS, AND ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES

Section 5. Probate, 53-5-1 through 53-5-71.

ARTICLE 7 UNIFORM TRANSFER ON DEATH SECURITY REGISTRATION

53-5-62. Ownership of a security.

Only individuals whose registration of a security shows sole ownership by one individual or multiple ownership by two or more with right of survivorship, rather than as tenants in common, may obtain registration in beneficiary form. Multiple owners of a security registered in beneficiary form hold as joint tenants with right of survivorship, as tenants by the entireties, or as owners of community property held in survivorship form and not as tenants in common.

(Code 1981, §53-5-62, enacted by Ga. L. 1999, p. 805, § 1.)
