In Kansas, a minor may assume control of the property at age 21 if the donor, or someone
with irrevocable power of appointment acting on behalf of the donor, transfers the
property to a custodian for the benefit of the minor with the intent that such transfer
is irrevocable. In addition, a minor may assume control of the property at age 21
if the transfer was made by a representative of a decedent's estate pursuant to the
terms of a will or by a trustee pursuant to the terms of a trust.
In Kansas, a minor may assume control of the property at age 18 if the property was
transferred to a custodian by a trustee under a trust not containing authorization
for the transfer or by a representative of a decedent's estate in absence of a will
or under a will not containing authorization for the transfer.
NOTE: The written document from the issuing source (donor) designating a gift under
the UTMA should contain enough information to determine the appropriate age of majority.
After reviewing the written document, if you have difficulty determining the age of
majority, contact a SSI policy staff person in the RSI/SSI Team for guidance.
