Ark. Code Ann. § 28-72-406

Multiple beneficiaries — Separate custodial trusts — Survivorship

Acts 1991, No. 273, § 6.

(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.

(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 (1) beneficiary shall separately account to each beneficiary pursuant to §§ 28-72-407 and 28-72-415 for the administration of the custodial trust.
