(a)

An issuer may require the following assurance that each necessary indorsement or each instruction is genuine and authorized:

(1)

In all cases, a guaranty of the signature of the person making an indorsement or originating an instruction including, in the case of an instruction, reasonable assurance of identity;

(2)

If the indorsement is made or the instruction is originated by an agent, appropriate assurance of actual authority to sign;

(3)

If the indorsement is made or the instruction is originated by a fiduciary pursuant to section 4-8-107 (a)(4) or (a)(5), appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency;

(4)

If there is more than one fiduciary, reasonable assurance that all who are required to sign have done so; and

(b)

An issuer may elect to require reasonable assurance beyond that specified in this section.

(c)

In this section:

(1)
