     § 8704.  Payments upon employee's death; third party claims.
        The trustee, custodian or committee charged with the
     responsibility of disbursing funds from any trust, custodial
     account, annuity or other funding arrangement under a pension,
     profit sharing, stock bonus, deferred compensation, disability,
     death benefit or other plan established by an employer for the
     benefit of its employees and their beneficiaries may pay funds
     upon the death of an employee or former employee to the
     beneficiaries entitled thereto under the plan or under a
     designation by the employee made pursuant to the plan and by
     making such payment shall be released from all claims by third
     parties. Pending such payment, such trustee, custodian or
     committee shall not be required to recognize any claim by third
     parties or to withhold disbursement pending the resolution of
     such claims, in the absence of an appropriate court order
     directed to it restraining such disbursement until further order
     of such court or instructing it to make disbursement of the
     account as provided in the order. Any person to whom payment is
     made shall be answerable therefor to anyone prejudiced thereby.
