§ 15-1.5-106. Multiple Beneficiaries - Separate Custodial Trusts - Survivorship




Source: L. 99: Entire article added, p. 1214, § 1, effective August 4.
This Act, unlike UTMA, does not preclude a custodial trust for more than one beneficiary. Adult persons creating custodial trusts are likely to set up custodial trusts in various forms, e.g., parents may wish to set up a custodial trust for their children or for themselves, then for a spouse, etc. However, the interests of each beneficiary are separate and the custodial trustee is obligated under subsection (3) to account separately to each beneficiary for administration of the beneficiary's interest in the custodial trust.
Subsection (2) allows a custodial trustee who is administering multiple custodial trusts for the same beneficiary to administer the custodial trusts as a single custodial trust. For example, if multiple trusts are created for an incapacitated beneficiary, the custodial trustee can administer them as a single custodial trust.
