First, there is no minimum age for a person to be a beneficiary; however you must understand there is a distinction between ownership and possession of property. There is no minimum age for a person to own property; however the beneficiary must be an adult to be able to possess it. If a will gives property to two children, one under 18, the other over 18, they both have ownership, but only the adult is entitled to ownership at that time. If the beneficiary is under 18, the property he or she gets must be turned over to a duly appointed guardian or parent according to the laws of that state for safekeeping. When the minor becomes andult, the guardian/parent must turn over possession.
