Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) Beneficial interests in a custodial
trust created for multiple beneficiaries are deemed to be separate
custodial trusts of equal undivided interests for each beneficiary.
Except in a transfer or declaration for use and benefit of husband
and wife, for whom survivorship is presumed, a right of survivorship does not exist unless the instrument creating the custodial
trust specifically provides for survivorship or survivorship is required as to marital property.
(2) Custodial trust property held under this subchapter by the
same custodial trustee for the use and benefit of the same beneficiary may be administered as a single custodial trust.
(3) A custodial trustee of custodial trust property held for
more than one beneficiary shall separately account to each beneficiary pursuant to ss. 54.962 and 54.978 for the administration of
the custodial trust.
