Custodian, Release by MinorReview List
This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. This Release is an important document for the Custodian to obtain from the former minor upon reaching their majority, normally 21. If the Custodian relationship extends until the minor reaches an older age, often 25, then the same document should be signed at the same time the property is turned over. The examination of property should precede the turnover, very much as in a real estate transaction.
This is an important agreement to have signed for the benefit of parents with their minor children so there are no later disputes about this issue, especially with families having trusts. In a very practical sense, it virtually eliminates the opportunity for this to be used as a wedge in later matters regarding estates or other issues.
1. Make multiple copies. Have a notary witness the transaction if possible.
Under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA), the custodian manages the account until the minor reaches the age of majority, at which point the assets are transferred to the minor. The custodian cannot take the money away from the minor for personal use; their role is to manage the funds in the best interest of the minor. However, the custodian can make withdrawals for the minor's benefit, such as for education or other necessary expenses. Once the minor reaches the designated age, they gain full control over the funds.
Yes. Under uniform gifts to minors act (UGMA) an adult custodian opens account for minor and all gains are taxed under minor's rate. Minor owns account at age of majority for his state or when specified by custodian depending on rules established at time of gift.
In Georgia, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) allows a custodian to manage assets for a minor until they reach the age of 21. At that time, the minor gains full control of the assets transferred to them. Prior to reaching 21, the custodian has the responsibility to manage the assets in the best interest of the minor.
If the custodian is the custodian or successor of the UGTMA in the event of the custodians death - yes by definition that is the custodians responsibility. If the custodian is, for example, the custodian of the estate of the adult who had custodial control of the UGTMA account the situation is different. A successor trustee is normally required when setting up the custodial account. If so, that successor custodian as named in the UGTMA account would have those powers. In this example, if the successor custodian is different on the UGTMA account than the custodian or trustee of the estate, the UGTMA account successor custodian would take precedence. Remember, the assets are in the minors estate not the custodians.
A custodian typically cannot pledge or use a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) account as collateral for a loan. The assets in a UTMA account are held in trust for the benefit of the minor and are meant to be used solely for their benefit until they reach the age of majority. Pledging the account would contradict the fiduciary duty of the custodian to manage the assets for the minor's best interest.

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.
