Because when I did the death by deed for my father for my son to get it the property we were both under the impression he would not get it till he's 21 because of the utma law but I'm told recently that does not apply.
answered on Mar 15, 2024
If by "utma" you mean the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, it doesn't apply if the transfer is made directly to the minor and not to a custodian. I assume when you say "death by deed" that you're talking about a transfer on death deed. With those assumptions, and the... View More
