1. NuGen MINOR ACCOUNT - The credit union may establish an account for a minor child, age 18 or under. However, we reserve the right to require a parent or legal guardian as joint owner and who shall be primarily liable to the credit union for any returned item, overdraft or unpaid charges on the account. The credit union may pay funds to the minor without regard to his or her minority as long as adequate identification is provided.
2. NuGen TEXAS UNIFORM TRANSFER TO MINORS ACT (TUTMA) ACCOUNT – A TUTMA is an individual account created by a custodian, who wishes to deposit funds as an irrevocable gift to the minor. There can be only one custodian per account. The custodian has control of the account for the benefit of the minor and is the only party entitled to access the account. The credit union has no duty to inquire about the use or purpose of any transaction. In the event of the death of the child, the child’s estate will receive the funds. In the case of the death of the custodian, the legal guardian of the child will name a successor custodian. Upon the age 21, the custodian is obligated to turn the funds over to the child.
