(a) If a savings account is opened in an association or a federal savings and loan association doing business in this state in the names of more than one person, whether the persons are minors or adults, and the savings contract specifies that money in the account may be paid to or on the order of any one of the account holders, the association may pay the money in the account to or on the order of any one of the account holders before or after the death of any of the other account holders. An association has no further liability for a payment made under this subsection.
