§ 31A-9-9

W. Va. Code § 31A-9-9

When creditor process enforceable against bank.

  1. (a) Subject to subsection (b) of this section, creditor process with respect to a special deposit is not enforceable against the bank holding the special deposit.

  2. (b) Creditor process is enforceable against the bank holding a special deposit with respect to an amount the bank is obligated to pay a beneficiary or a depositor if the process:

    1. (1) Is served on the bank;
    2. (2) Provides sufficient information to permit the bank to identify the depositor or the beneficiary from the bank's books and records; and
    3. (3) Gives the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on the process.
  3. (c) Creditor process served on a bank before it is enforceable against the bank under subsection (b) of this section does not create a right of the creditor against the bank or a duty of the bank to the creditor. Other law determines whether creditor process creates a lien enforceable against the beneficiary on a contingent interest of a beneficiary, including a depositor as a beneficiary, even if not enforceable against the bank.
