Chapter 18-7 - Uniform Transfers to Minors Act
Section 18-7-23. - Effect on existing custodianships.

§ 18-7-23. Effect on existing custodianships.
(a) Any transfer of “custodial property” as now defined in this chapter made before June 28, 1985, is validated, notwithstanding that there was no specific authority in the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of Rhode Island for the coverage of custodial property of that kind or for a transfer from that source at the time the transfer was made.
(b) This chapter applies to all transfers made before June 28, 1985, in a manner and form prescribed in the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of Rhode Island, except insofar as the application impairs constitutionally vested rights or extends the duration of custodianships in existence on June 28, 1985.
(c) Sections 18-7-2 and 18-7-21, with respect to the age of a minor for whom custodial property is held under this chapter, do not apply to custodial property held in a custodianship that terminated because of the minor’s attainment of the age of eighteen (18) after March 29, 1972, and before June 28, 1985.
