An association may contract for an account in the following form: "John Doe, pay on death to Henry Roe." Such account shall, during the lifetime of the person first named in the account, be the property of and under the sole control of the person first named; and the first named person shall be entitled to cancel, change, give away, or otherwise deal with the account as if no other person were* named in the account.

2. At the death of the first named person, the account shall become the property of the person named as the "pay on death" person. The association is authorized to require proof of death and surrender of the evidence of account prior to withdrawal after the death of the first named person.
