Generally, no there is no penalty to close a UGMA account. However, there may be a surrender fee or an exit fee if removed in a certain time frame.

Can you close an IRA account?

Yes you can close the account. However if you simply take the money, then you will owe not only regular income taxes on it, but you would be subject to a 10% penalty as well. Unless it is a qualified distribution in which the penalty could be avoided. If you want to simply "move" the money into another IRA then you can do that penalty free by filling out account transfer forms at the receiving institution.

How to take money out of UGMA accounts?

To take money out of a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) account, the custodian of the account must initiate the withdrawal, as minors cannot manage the account themselves. The funds can be used for the benefit of the minor, such as education or other expenses. Once the minor reaches the age of majority, they gain full control of the account and can withdraw the funds as they choose. It's important to check specific state laws, as they can vary regarding the age of majority and withdrawal processes.

Are UGMA accounts part of the estate of the decedent who created the account?

By UGMA, I take it you mean a Uniform Gift to Minors Act account which is being held for the minor by the parent, guardian or other person. I also take it you mean whether the account is included in the estate of the deceased holder. In that situation the UGMA account is not included in the decedent's estate as an asset of the estate available for payment of expenses, debts and distribution. Under the UGMA, as soon as funds were put into the account, they became the property of the minor. As far as taxes go, they might be taxable under certain situations. If the funds were put into the account by the decedent within a certain short period of time before death and if they were put into the account on contemplation of imminent death, they may be taxed as if they were part of the estate. In addition, if that transfer was made in contemplation of death and if the estate is insolvent, creditors can seek to have the funds put back into the estate by going to court and proving that the account was created to shield the funds from taxation within that short period of time. The IRS and every state has its own laws on this subject as well as the short time period, so it is important to review the laws in the state which has jurisdiction over the estate.

What happens to UGMA if minor dies?

If a minor dies, the assets held in a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) account would typically become part of the minor's estate and be distributed according to the minor's will or intestacy laws.
