Gifts (or Transfers) to Minors Act

Gifts (or Transfers) to Minors Act 〈美〉《向未成年人赠与(或转让)财产法》 一部为大多数州采用的统一制定法,规定向未成年人转让财产(通常为股票和债券)的办法。指定的财产管理人即使未取得监护权,也有权代表未成年人为一定法律行为。管理人一般有权变更投资,如售出一种股票买进另一种,可以将财产收益用于未成年人的生活开支,甚至有权终止管理。由于这些财产属于未成年人,管理人不得为自己的利益予以动用。保管期间,财产的收益应向未成年人收税。这种财产管理在未成年人达到法定年龄时终止。向未成年人赠与财产的主要原因在于可获得税收方面的优惠。这项法律已为《统一向未成年人转让财产法》〔Uniform Transfers to Minors Act〕所取代。
