“. . . The depositor may at any time withdraw any part of the deposit during his lifetime, or otherwise revoke the trust in whole or in part at any time during his lifetime,, or by will, but on his death the beneficiary is entitled to the amount remaining on deposit if the depositor has not revoked the trust.””
