What If One Cannot Get A Certified Copy of The Lawful Money Statute

Some court clerks will not certify a document, as the certification process can vary county to county. In lieu of a certified copy of the statute, one may simply supply the law to the banking authority in a printed format [SEE BELOW]. Do not give a URL / webpage as the site address may change over time. In regards to updating a signature card for a bank account, it is always a good idea to update any signatures with the wording for a demand of lawful money. If one can fit all the wording on the bank signature card, do that. Otherwise, for lack of space an acceptable format is "Redeemed in Lawful Money".

1) If a personal account, the signature should state "GRANTOR".

2) If a C-Corp, the signature should state <one's title in the corporation>.

3) If one has a trust account, the signature should state "TTEE".

If they argue of the change, the question to ask is "Are you dishonoring my signature?". The banking agent will think on that question (or consult their attorney) and say "no" ultimately.
