KRS 386.120: Deposits in fiduciary's personal account.
Where this section sits in the code
- KRS Chapter 386
If a fiduciary makes a deposit in a bank or trust company to his personal credit of checks
drawn by him upon an account in his own name as fiduciary, or of checks payable to him
as fiduciary, or of checks drawn by him upon an account in the name of his principal if he
is empowered to draw checks thereon, or of checks payable to his principal and endorsed
by him if he is empowered to endorse them, or if he otherwise makes a deposit of funds
held by him as fiduciary, the bank or trust company receiving the de posit is not bound to
inquire whether the fiduciary is committing thereby a breach of his obligation as
fiduciary. The bank or trust company may pay the amount of the deposit or any part
thereof upon the personal check of the fiduciary without being liable to the principal,
unless it receives the deposit or pays the check with actual knowledge that the fiduciary is
committing a breach of his obligation as fiduciary in making the deposit or in drawing the
check or with knowledge of such facts that its action in receiving the deposit or paying
the check amounts to bad faith.
