27A V.S.A. § 3-119

A third person dealing with the association in the association’s capacity as a trustee may assume without inquiry that the association has trust powers and will properly exercise them. A third person, without actual knowledge that the association is exceeding or improperly exercising its powers, is fully protected in dealing with the association as if the association possessed and properly exercised the powers it purports to exercise. A third person is not bound to assure the proper application of trust assets paid or delivered to the association in its capacity as trustee. (Added 1997, No. 104 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
