Terms Used In Michigan Laws 490.58

  • Account: means a contract of deposit of funds between depositors and credit unions, and includes deposit accounts, members or share accounts and other like arrangements whether or not they may be characterized as refundable capital investments. See Michigan Laws 490.51
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Party: means a person who, alone or in conjunction with another, by the terms of the account or as a surviving beneficiary of a trust account, has a present right of withdrawal in a multiple-party account. See Michigan Laws 490.51
   The presumptions stated herein are based upon inferences of the intention of parties to multiple-party accounts arising from the form of the account and the usual expectations of people using these accounts. The presumptions are rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence of a different intention. The presumptions of survivorship are not subject to change by will but may be rebutted by a written order received by the credit union to change the form of account or directing that payment not be made in accordance with the account which is signed by a party and is received by the credit union during the party’s lifetime.
