(1) Subject to subsections (b) and (c), a person not subject to § 35-7-106 or § 35-7-107, who holds property of, or owes a liquidated debt or judgment to, a minor not having a guardian may make an irrevocable transfer to a custodian for the benefit of the minor pursuant to § 35-7-110.
(2) If a person having the right to do so under § 35-7-104 has nominated a custodian under this chapter to receive the custodial property, the transfer must be made to that person.
(3) If no custodian has been nominated, or all persons so nominated as custodian die before the transfer or are unable, decline, or are ineligible to serve, a transfer under this section may be made to an adult member of the minor's family or to a trust company unless the property exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in value. If the transfer exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in value, it may be made only if it is authorized by the court.
