In cases where any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before the delivery of and payment for such bonds, that signature or facsimile is valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery and payment.

The duty of conversion may be imposed upon a trustee in a trust agreement.
