21
In Georgia the age of majority is 18, however the age of termination of a UGMA or UTMA is 21.
In North Carolina, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) sets the age of termination at 21 years old. At this age, the minor gains full control over the funds and assets held in the UTMA account. Prior to reaching this age, a custodian manages the account on behalf of the minor. However, the custodian can use the funds for the minor's benefit until they reach the age of termination.
If the account was created before September 1, 1995 the age is 18 under grandfathered UGMA law. If the account was created AFTER September 1, 1995, the age of termination is 21. http:/www.finaid.org/savings/ageofmajority.phtml http:/www.fairmark.com/custacct/index.htm See above links for further info.

Is there a penalty for not transferring a UGMA UTMA account to the child when heshe reaches the age of majority?
21
The Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) does not specify a specific age for vesting. It allows assets to be held in a custodial account for the minor until they reach the age of majority, typically 18 or 21, depending on the state. At that point, the assets are transferred to the minor's control.
In Oregon, the age of majority for a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) account is 21 years old. This means that the minor named as the beneficiary of the account gains full control over the assets once they reach this age. Until then, a custodian manages the account on behalf of the minor.
In court or at arbitration.
You have to file a Motion For Termination of Probation. Go to Home for Good Georgia Department of Corrections John Marshalls Law School Reference pg #35.
You can use UTMA funds for expenses related to the minor's benefit, such as education, healthcare, and other necessities.
The UTMA can impact eligibility for financial aid because assets held in a UTMA account are considered the student's assets, which can reduce the amount of financial aid they are eligible to receive.
