§763. Minors
A. Minors may subscribe for, hold, own, transfer, withdraw, and surrender shares and savings accounts in associations without the authorization or intervention of their tutors, parents, or any other persons, and shall be considered in such matters as if they were the full age of majority. Unless otherwise provided in the savings contract, in case of minors less than ten years of age, either parent, if alive, or else the surviving parent, may transfer, withdraw, and surrender such shares, savings accounts, or evidence of investment, for the minor, or otherwise represent the minor in respect to his shares without the necessity of tutorship proceedings.
Minors, as members or depositors, shall have all the rights of membership or of depositors. However, the provisions of this Section shall have no application to shares or savings accounts of an association acquired by inheritance or by testamentary disposition.
B. In the case of a minor less than ten years of age whose parents are alive but divorced or legally separated, the parent to whose custody the child has been committed by any decree of the court allowing the divorce or separation shall exercise the rights of the surviving parent and shall present to the association a certified copy of such decree. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as authorizing any minor to pledge or borrow upon any such shares or savings accounts or to buy or sell immovable property without the authorization required under the existing laws.
