Like a 529 Plan, your ESA account is considered an asset of the custodian, which, in most cases, is the parent.

The document creating and governing the account must be in writing, and it must meet certain requirements.

Qualified expenses include tuition, books, equipment, academic tutoring and even special needs services. In addition to college expenses, you can also cover eligible K-12 expenses.

If you have unused funds in a Coverdell ESA, they must be used or rolled over into another ESA or a 529 plan by the time the beneficiary reaches the age of 30 — or you can change the beneficiary on the existing account.
