Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. The custodian shall:
(a) Take control of the custodial property;
(b) Register or record title to the custodial
property, if appropriate; and
(c) Collect, hold, manage, invest and reinvest
the custodial property.
2. In dealing with custodial property, the
custodian shall observe the standard of care that would be observed by a
prudent person dealing with property of another, and is not limited by any
other statute restricting investments by fiduciaries. If the custodian has a
special skill or expertise or is named custodian on the basis of
representations of a special skill or expertise, he or she shall use that skill
or expertise. However, the custodian, without liability to the minor or the
minors estate, may retain any custodial property received from a transferor.
3. The custodian may invest in or pay
premiums on life insurance or endowment policies on the life of:
(a) The minor only if the minor or the minors
estate is the sole beneficiary; or
(b) Another person in whom the minor has an
insurable interest only to the extent that the minor, the minors estate or the
custodian, in the capacity of custodian, is the irrevocable beneficiary.
4. The custodian at all times shall keep
custodial property separate and distinct from all other property in a manner
sufficient to identify it clearly as custodial property of the minor. Custodial
property consisting of an undivided interest is so identified if the minors
interest is held as a tenant in common and is fixed. Custodial property subject
to recordation is so identified if it is recorded, and custodial property
subject to registration is so identified if it is either registered, or held in
an account designated, in the name of the custodian, followed in substance by
the words: as a custodian for................ (name of minor) under Nevadas
Uniform Act on Transfers to Minors.
5. The custodian shall keep records of all
transactions with respect to custodial property, including information
necessary for the preparation of the minors tax returns, and shall make them
available for inspection at reasonable intervals by a parent or legal
representative of the minor or by the minor, if the minor has attained the age
of 14 years.
