§ 5814.09.
(A) Subject to the requirements and limitations of this section, the time for delivery
to the minor of custodial property transferred under or pursuant to division (A) of section 5814.02 of the Revised Code may be delayed until a specified time after the minor attains the age of twenty-one
years, which time shall be specified in the written instrument that makes or provides
for the gift or transfer pursuant to divisions (A)(1) to (9) of section 5814.02 of
the Revised Code. (B) To specify a delayed time for delivery to the minor of the custodial property, the
words “as custodian for .................... (name of minor) until age .................... (age of delivery of property to minor) under the Ohio Transfers to Minors Act,” shall
be substituted in substance for the words “as custodian for .................... (name of minor) under the Ohio Transfers to Minors Act.” (C) The time for delivery to the minor of custodial property transferred under a will,
trust instrument, or irrevocable exercise of a testamentary power of appointment may
be delayed under this section only if the governing will, trust, or exercise of the
power of appointment provides in substance that the custodianship is to continue until
the time the minor attains a specified age, which time shall not be later than the
date the minor attains the age of twenty-five years. (D) If the custodial property is transferred by inter vivos gift and the time for delivery
of the custodial property to the minor is delayed beyond the time the minor attains
the age of twenty-one years, the custodian, nevertheless, shall deliver the custodial
property to the minor if requested in writing by the minor within sixty days of the
minor attaining the age of twenty-one years, unless the donor or transferor, in the
written instrument of gift or transfer pursuant to divisions (A)(1) to (9) of section
5814.02 of the Revised Code, provides that the custodial property may not be delivered
to the minor prior to attaining the specified age of delivery, which time shall not
be later than the date the minor attains the age of twenty-five years. (E) If the time for delivery to the minor of custodial property is delayed until a specified
time after the minor attains the age of twenty-one years and the minor dies prior
to attaining that age, the custodian shall, upon the minor's death, deliver the custodial
property to the estate of the minor. (F) A custodian may not commingle the assets of custodial property that have different
delivery dates.
