Who can transfer property to a minor's custodian
This section says who can give money or property to a custodian for a minor. It applies to people who are not already covered by other rules. If a custodian was named, the transfer must go to that person. If not, it can go to a family member or trust company, unless the property is worth more than $10,000.
