Answer:
Answer by Mary Beth Guard: Call your state association or state banking department to find out whether your state has adopted the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) and ask how you can obtain a copy.

Check to see if your state has such a law, and, if so, what special restrictions/conditions apply.
