(b) An account that does not expressly provide for right of survivorship is presumed to be a nonsurvivorship account.
(c) If the credit union complies with an account agreement, the credit union may pay money representing shares or deposits on the order of a party either before or after the death of another party.
(d) A credit union acting under Subsection (c) does not have further liability for the amount paid.
