Legal Question in Family Law in California
Protecting a minor childs assets
What is the best route to go with an account for a child, where the parents are not owners of the account, but are only signers or custodians. Would it be necessary to first open a trust? What about an UTMA account?

Your question is more in the area of wills and trusts, than family law. If there is a section on wills and trusts submit the question there. Include more facts such as the purpose of the transfer and the amount, an approximate amount such as less the $10,000 or more than some amount.
