QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER THE PRESUMPTION A CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD) HAS BEEN PAID OUT WITHIN 20 YEARS OF WHEN IT CAME DUE APPLIED TO CD’S IN PLAINTIFF’S DECEASED HUSBAND’S IRA WHICH WERE RENEWED AUTOMATICALLY (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendant bank’s motion for summary judgment in this action seeking the payment of certificates of deposit (CD’s) held in an independent retirement account (IRA) should not have been granted. The presumption that a CD has been paid out within 20 years of when it came due may not apply to these CD’s which were in plaintiff’s deceased husband’s IRA and were renewed automatically:

Defendant [bank] relied upon the common law rebuttable presumption of payment to establish its prima facie case. It presumes that payment on a CD has occurred within 20 years after the time it came due … . In opposition, plaintiff has raised issues of fact with respect to whether the presumption applies because the CD, held by an IRA, renewed automatically each year. Plaintiff has also provided an affidavit stating that she never presented the CD to defendant for payment and explaining the delay. Plaintiff’s affidavit was sufficient to warrant denial of summary judgment … . Friedfeld v Citibank, N.A., 2020 NY Slip Op 05575, First Dept 10-8-20
