About this statute

This part defines key terms used throughout the Securities Transfer Act, including financial asset, protected purchaser, securities account, securities intermediary, and control. This part defines key securities terms and sets rules for when certain interests count as securities or financial assets, and when endorsements, instructions, or entitlement orders are effective. This provision sets warranty rules for security transfers, endorsements, securities intermediaries, seizure, and contract enforceability. This part rules when security transfers must be registered, what assurances may be required, and how endorsements, instructions, and transfer restrictions work. These provisions let an eligible person ask an issuer not to register a transfer, require the issuer to notify the relevant parties, and set limits on how long registration may be withheld. They also cover issuer liability for wrongful transfer registration, replacement of lost or stolen certificates, and the duties of securities intermediaries.
