of the representative and his certification that the heirs or legatees in whose name reissue is requested are entitled thereto and have agreed to such reissue (use Form P. D. 1455); Provided, That if the representative is himself one of the heirs or legatees entitled to the savings bond, or to an interest therein, and desires reissue in his own name, a special order of the court authorizing such reissue must be submitted.

(b) Without administration. (1) If the owner of a savings bond dies and no legal representative of his estate is to be appointed and it is established to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Treasury, either that the gross value of the personal estate does not exceed $500, or that administration of the estate is not required in the state. of the decedent's domicile, payment, or reissue in authorized denominations only and subject to the provisions of § 315.16, of the savings bond will be made to the persons entitled to such savings bond, to the extent of their respective interests, without requiring administration of the estate. Affidavits will be required of all persons entitled to any share in the estate setting forth the facts in detail, and requesting and agreeing to the payment or reissue in question, supported by proof that the debts of the decedent and of his estate have been paid or provided for, affidavits by two disinterested persons having personal knowledge of the decedent and his family, and a death certificate or other proof of the death of the owner (use Form L&C 285, copies of which may be procured from the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Washington, D. C., or from any Federal Reserve bank). If the gross value of the personal estate exceeds $500 the Secretary of the Treasury may further require an affidavit or a certificate from a practicing attorney or judicial officer of the state of the decedent's domicile showing that administration of the estate is not required in such state and referring specifically to the statutes or the decisions of the courts of such state under which exemption from administration is claimed, or showing that it is a general and well recognized practice in that state to settle such estates without administration.

(2) No payment or reissue without administration will be permitted in a case where any of the persons entitled are minors or under disability, except to them or in their names or upon compliance with the provisions of §§ 315.8, 315.9 governing the payment of savings bonds in the names of such persons.**

Payment of a savings bond will be made in accordance with a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or proceedings pursuant to such judgment or decree, except in cases where the action is instituted for the purpose of giving effect to an attempted transfer by the owner contrary to § 315.2. In appropriate cases the Treasury Department will require proof that the court acting had jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter, and proceeded in due course of its jurisdiction, and that the judgment or decree is final and conclusive, that it has fully and effectually transferred the title of the owner, and that it is not open

For this purpose duly authenticated copies of the complaint, order of service, return of service, answer, or other pleading, the final judgment or order of the court and any further proceedings thereunder, must be furnished, together with a certificate, under seal, from the clerk of the court showing that no appeal, motion for new trial, or other proceeding which may result in modifying the judgment has been taken, made, or applied for; that the time for such action has expired (or if any such proceedings have been had they have been terminated), and that the judgment is in full force and effect and has become final under the laws of the jurisdiction. The Secretary of the Treasury in any case may require such further information, documents, and security as he deems necessary.

(b) Payment to receiver or trustee in bankruptcy. Payment (but not reissue) of a savings bond will be made to a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the registered owner upon request for payment duly executed by such receiver or trustee and supported by satisfactory proof of his appointment and qualification.*†

(1) To correct an established error in the original issue;

(2) To show a change in the name of the owner whether by marriage or in any other legal manner;

(3) As specifically provided in the regulations in this part. Reissues pursuant to (1) and (2) of this paragraph will be made only at the Treasury Department, Division of Loans and Currency, Washington, D. C., and requests therefor should be made on appropriate forms, copies of which may be obtained from that Division or from any Federal Reserve bank. All reissues will be made subject to the limitations expressed in § 315.3.

In all cases of reissue the savings bonds issued will bear the same issue dates as the savings bonds surrendered, will mature on the same dates, and will be issued in the largest available authorized denominations.

(b) Denominational exchange not permitted. Exchange as between authorized denominations of savings bonds will not be permitted except in cases of partial redemption or as necessarily incident to authorized cases of reissue.*†

315.17 Further provisions—(a) Applicability of Part 306. The regulations in this part are prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury as governing United States Savings bonds issued under the authority of the Second Liberty Bond Act, approved September 24, 1917, as amended, and the provisions of Part 306 have no application to such savings bonds except as specifically provided in this part.
