As an example, in New Jersey, a parent is not considered the legal guardian of his or her minor child for purposes of taking care of the child's money, unless the inheritance is in an amount that is less than $5000.

If the law of the state requires appointment of a legal guardian in such a case, the administrator of the estate will not distribute the inheritance until proof of proper appointment is provided.
