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.
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.
NC UTMA stands for North Carolina Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. It is a law that allows adults to transfer assets to a minor without the need for a formal trust. Under this act, a custodian manages the assets until the minor reaches the age of majority, typically 18 or 21, depending on the state. This facilitates financial gifting and investment for minors while providing a legal framework for asset management.
You can use UTMA funds for expenses related to the minor's benefit, such as education, healthcare, and other necessities.
