21
In North Carolina, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) sets the age of termination at 21 years old.

However, the custodian can use the funds for the minor's benefit until they reach the age of termination.
The Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) does not specify a specific age for vesting.

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.
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.
