  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Branch: when used in reference to a foreign depository institution, means a place of business of a foreign depository institution located in this state that is authorized to exercise the powers permitted in Section 7-18a-301. See Utah Code 7-18a-102
  • Commissioner: means the Commissioner of Financial Institutions. See Utah Code 7-1-103
  • Depository institution: means a bank, savings and loan association, savings bank, industrial bank, credit union, or other institution that:

(b) issues certificates of deposit; or
(c) provides to its customers other depository accounts that are subject to withdrawal by checks, drafts, or other instruments or by electronic means to effect third party payments. See Utah Code 7-1-103
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
