9 Section 20. The Illinois Trust and Payable on Death
10Accounts Act is amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
11 (205 ILCS 625/4) (from Ch. 17, par. 2134)
12 Sec. 4. Payable on Death Account Incidents. If one or more
13persons opening or holding an account sign an agreement with
14the institution providing that on the death of the last
15surviving person designated as holder the account shall be
16paid to or held by one or more designated beneficiaries, the
17account, and any balance therein which exists from time to
18time, shall be held as a payment on death account and unless
19otherwise agreed in writing between the person or persons
20opening or holding the account and the institution:
21 (a) Any holder during his or her lifetime may change any of
22the designated beneficiaries to own the account at the death
23of the last surviving holder without the knowledge or consent
24of any other holder or the designated beneficiaries by a

HB2537- 51 -LRB103 29631 BMS 56027 b
1written instrument accepted by the institution;
2 (b) Any holder may make additional deposits to and
3withdraw any part or all of the account at any time without the
4knowledge or consent of any other holder or the designated
5beneficiaries to own the account at the death of the last
6surviving holder, subject to the bylaws and regulations of the
7institution, and all withdrawals shall constitute a revocation
8of the agreement as to the amount withdrawn; and
9 (c) Upon the death of the last surviving holder of the
10account, the beneficiary designated to be the owner of the
11account (i) who is then living, if the beneficiary is a natural
12person, or (ii) that maintains a lawful existence under the
13state or federal authority pursuant to which it was organized,
14if the beneficiary is not a natural person, shall be the sole
15owner of the account. If , unless more than one beneficiary is
16so designated and then living or in existence, in which case
17those beneficiaries shall hold the account in equal shares as
18tenants in common with no right of survivorship as between
19those beneficiaries; and .
20 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection
21(c), any holder of the account may elect a per stirpes
22distribution option to the descendants of a natural person
23beneficiary if the beneficiary predeceases the last surviving
24holder of the account. The institution may rely on the account
25holder's written representation of the identity of the
26descendants of each beneficiary living at the time of the

HB2537- 52 -LRB103 29631 BMS 56027 b
1beneficiary designation. The institution may also rely on an
2affidavit executed by a natural person beneficiary or
3descendant of a natural person beneficiary of the last
4surviving holder of the account upon or after the death of the
5account holder that identifies the descendants of any
6predeceased natural person beneficiary. The total percentage
7of the account to be distributed to all beneficiaries upon the
8death of the last surviving holder of the account must equal
9100%. If no beneficiary designated as the owner of the account
10on the death of the last surviving holder is then living or in
11existence, or if no descendant of a natural person beneficiary
12is then living if a per stirpes distribution has been
13selected, the proceeds shall vest in the estate of the last
14surviving holder of the account.
