2006 Minnesota Statutes

520.25 ADVERSE CLAIMS.
(a) A person asserting a claim of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer of a security
pursuant to an assignment by a fiduciary may give the corporation or transfer agent written
notice of the claim. The corporation or transfer agent is not put on notice unless the written
notice identifies the claimant, the registered owner, and the issue of which the security is a part,
provides an address for communications directed to the claimant and is received before the
transfer. Nothing in sections 520.21 to 520.31 relieves the corporation or transfer agent of any
liability for making or refusing to make the transfer after it is so put on notice, unless it proceeds
in the manner authorized in subsection (b).
(b) As soon as practicable after the presentation of a security for transfer pursuant to an
assignment by a fiduciary, a corporation or transfer agent which has received notice of a claim
of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer may send notice of the presentation by registered or
certified mail to the claimant at the address given by the claimant. If the corporation or transfer
agent so mails such a notice it shall withhold the transfer for 30 days after the mailing and shall
then make the transfer unless restrained by a court order.
