tenants with right of survivorship, as tenants by the entireties, as
tenants in common, or by husband and wife as community property,
shall be guaranteed separately from investment certificates
individually owned by the co-owners.
(2) A joint investment certificate shall be deemed to exist, for
purposes of guarantee of investment certificates, only if each
co-owner has personally executed an investment certificate signature
card and possesses redemption rights.
(3) An investment certificate owned jointly which does not qualify
as a joint investment certificate for purposes of guarantee of
investment certificates shall be treated as owned by the named
persons as individuals and the actual ownership interest of each such
person in such investment certificate shall be added to any other
investment certificates individually owned by such person and
guaranteed up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate.

combination of individuals shall first be added together and
guaranteed up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate.

certificates of the trustee of such trust funds or the settlor or
beneficiary of such trust arrangements.

member's bank account at the time the commissioner has taken

extent as if his or her name and interest were disclosed on the
