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.
In Georgia the age of majority is 18, however the age of termination of a UGMA or UTMA is 21.
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 New Jersey, a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) account can have only one custodian at a time, who manages the assets until the child reaches the age of majority. However, a custodian can designate a successor custodian in case they are unable to continue managing the account. There are no limits on the number of successors, but only one custodian may manage the account at any given time.
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.
