An insured institution may not pay the personal representative or heirs of a deceased party unless proofs of death are presented to the insured institution showing that the decedent was the last surviving party or unless no right of survivorship exists under ORS § 708A.470. [1997 c.631 § 179; 2015 c.244 § 60]
