I have a UTMA account where the custodian (mom) has lost contact with both the bank and the child. What can we do as the bank to pass the funds to the child who is currently only 13?

I have a 20 year old customer that had a checking account that went negative and we couldn't reach him. We ended up charging off the account. This 20-year old is also the beneficiary of a Uniform Transfer to Miner's Act account that his grandfather is the custodian for. Since the beneficiary is considered the sole owner of the funds and it is to be used for their benefit, can I use "right of setoff" and take those funds and put them towards the charged off balance on his checking account?

I am reviewing our new accounts signature cards and I have had the UTMA come up. The new accounts department has been placing the minors information in the signature section, my past employers have never allowed us to place the minors information in that section because they stated that, that section means that the minor can actually sign on the account. Is this true and could you give me some advice?
