35-2-110. Deposit in names of two or more trustees Drawing checks.

When a deposit is made in a bank or savings institution in the name of two (2) or more persons as fiduciaries and a check is drawn upon the fiduciary account by any fiduciary or fiduciaries authorized by the other fiduciary or fiduciaries to draw checks upon the fiduciary account, neither the payee nor other holder nor the bank or savings institution is bound to inquire whether it is a breach of trust to authorize such fiduciary or fiduciaries to draw checks upon the fiduciary account, and is not liable unless the circumstances be such that the action of the payee or other holder or the bank or savings institution amounts to bad faith.
