In a posting by Ken Golliher dated 11/18/02, Mr. Golliher states that “The minor is the owner of the funds…. But is not entitled to access, regardless of his age.” When we went to
www.finaid.org, the author states “the money belongs to the minor but is controlled by the custodian until the minor reaches the age of trust termination.”
Can you help me understand which statement is accurate so we can establish the correct procedure for allowing withdrawals from a UTMA?
