Transfer to custodial trustee by fiduciary or obligor — Facility of payment

Known as the Rhode Island Uniform Custodial Trust Act

The act spans §§ 18–18 (22 sections).

P.L. 1988, ch. 623, § 1.

(a) Unless otherwise directed by an instrument designating a custodial trustee pursuant to § 18-13-3, a person, including a fiduciary other than a custodial trustee, who holds property of or owes a debt to an incapacitated individual not having a conservator, may make a transfer to an adult member of the beneficiary’s family or to a trust company as custodial trustee for the use and benefit of the incapacitated individual. If the value of the property or the debt exceeds twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), the transfer is not effective unless authorized by the court.
