Without qualifying any other statutory right to set-off or lien and subject to any contractual provision, if a party is indebted to a financial institution, the financial institution has a right to set-off against the account. The amount of the account subject to set-off is the proportion to which the party is, or immediately before death was, beneficially entitled under section 19- 602.11 or, in the absence of proof of that proportion, an equal share with all parties.

(Apr. 27, 2001, D.C. Law 13-292, § 302(b), 48 DCR 2087.)
