   20  S 4-1.6 Disqualification of joint tenant in certain instances
   21    Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the  contrary,  a  joint
   22  tenant  convicted  of  murder in the second degree as defined in section
   23  125.25 of the penal law or murder in the  first  degree  as  defined  in
   24  section  125.27  of  the  penal  law  OR AGGRAVATED MURDER OF A CHILD AS
   25  DEFINED IN SECTION 125.28 OF THE PENAL LAW of another joint tenant shall
   26  not be entitled to the distribution  of  any  monies  in  a  joint  bank
   27  account  created  or contributed to by the deceased joint tenant, except
   28  for those monies contributed by the convicted joint tenant.
   29    Upon the conviction of such joint tenant of  first  or  second  degree
   30  murder  and  upon application by the prosecuting attorney, the court, as
   31  part of its sentence, shall issue an order directing the amount  of  any
   32  joint  bank account to be distributed pursuant to the provisions of this
   33  section from the convicted  joint  tenant  and  to  the  deceased  joint
   34  tenant's  estate. The court and the prosecuting attorney shall each have
   35  the power to subpoena records of a banking institution to determine  the
   36  amount of money in such bank account and by whom deposits were made. The
   37  court  shall also have the power to freeze such account upon application
   38  by the prosecuting attorney during the pendency of a trial for first  or
   39  second degree murder. If, upon receipt of such court orders described in
   40  this  section,  the  banking  institution  holding  monies in such joint
   41  account complies with the terms of the order, such  banking  institution
   42  shall be held free from all liability for the distribution of such funds
   43  as  were in such joint account. In the absence of actual or constructive
   44  notice of such order, the banking institution  holding  monies  in  such
   45  account  shall  be held harmless for distributing the money according to
   46  its ordinary course of business.
   47    For purposes of this section, the term banking institution shall  have
   48  the  same  meaning as provided for in paragraph (b) of subdivision three
   49  of section nine-f of the banking law.
