Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 69G-20.0030 - Claims for United States Savings Bonds

(1) A claim for a United States savings bond, or the proceeds from such bond, may be approved if the claimant is able to provide sufficient proof of the validity of the claim.

(a) If no beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient is indicated on the bond:

1. By any person whose name appears on the bond, or

2. By the beneficiary as defined by section 731.201, F.S., or the personal representative of the estate of the person whose name appears on the bond who died last.

(b) If a beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient is indicated on the bond:

1. By any person (other than the beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient) whose name appears on the bond, or

2. By the beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient named on the bond, if all persons who are named on the bond (other than the beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient) are deceased, or

3. By the beneficiary as defined by section 731.201, F.S., or the personal representative of the estate of the person whose name appears on the bond who died last if the beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient named on the bond died before such person.

(2) Because the "and" form of registration is not authorized, any person (other than the beneficiary or pay-on-death recipient, if any) whose name appears on the bond may claim a United States savings bond or the proceeds from such bond.

(3) A claim for a United States savings bond by a person who leased the safe deposit box containing the United States savings bond shall be denied unless the person who leased the safe deposit box satisfies the requirements of subsection (1).
