UTMA Custodian Deceased, How to Handle
04/28/2024
My question is on a custodian account/UTMA when the minor reaches the age of majority. In this case the custodian did not close account prior to their death. Can the bank distribute funds to minor who is now over 21? What if the terms and conditions of the account say only the custodian can disburse funds: does that mean the “minor” has to get a new custodian assigned to allow for funds to be given to minor?

Procedures for Claims to Funds

We received a "Notice of Freeze" from the Florida Department of Revenue on one of our customers. Is there a set procedure for handling such notices from a state authority or do they differ by bank and or the state the bank or the customer is in? Would this procedure be the same for an action from a governmental entity as from a private action like an unpaid debt?
