Transferring a UTMA account to a child is simple. You can do so with most financial or investment institutions. You can also consult a tax or business lawyer to help you set up the legal structure, although most financial institutions can do this for you.
The California Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (?CUTMA?) is a modernization of the Uniform Gift to Minors Act, and became effective in 1985. A gift made pursuant to CUTMA is held in custodianship until age 18 unless the gift specifies a termination age beyond 18, but not over 25 years of age.
In California, the ?age of majority? is 18 while the ?age of trust termination? is 21. As a result, custodians can establish UTMA accounts for a minor and specify that they wait until age 21 to gain control of the funds. Once the account is funded, it is common to invest the funds in stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc.
All states in Region IX have repealed the UGMA and adopted the UTMA: Arizona effective 09/30/88, California effective 01/01/85, Hawaii effective 07/01/85, and Nevada effective 07/01/85.
UTMA allows the property to be gifted to a minor without establishing a formal trust. The donor or a custodian manages the property for the minor's benefit until the minor reaches a certain age. Once the child reaches a specified age set by the state, the child will have full control over the property.
