ACCOUNT HELD BY MINOR.

(a) A savings bank or a federal savings bank may accept a deposit account from a minor as the sole and absolute owner of the account.

(b) On the minor's order, the savings bank may:

(1) pay withdrawals;

(2) accept pledges to the savings bank; and

(3) act in any other manner with respect to the account.

(c) Subject to Subsection (e), a payment or delivery of rights to a minor, or an acquittance signed by a minor who holds a deposit account, is a discharge of the savings bank for that payment or delivery.

(d) If the savings bank requires a minor to furnish an acquittance or pledge or take other action with respect to the minor's deposit account, that action is binding on the minor as if the minor had the capacity of an adult.

(e) If a parent or guardian of a minor informs the savings bank in writing that the minor is not to have the authority to control the minor's deposit account, the minor may not control the account during the minority without the joinder of the parent or guardian.

(f) If a minor dies, the acquittance of a parent or guardian of the minor discharges the savings bank for amounts that in the aggregate do not exceed $1,000.
