Using UGMA funds to buy house

I opened a UGMA for my 4 year old grandson with stock from my employer. My son is custodian. and suggests to use that money to make a down payment on investment property ( 4-family house). Can this be done? How can we protect my grandson’s interest?

Re: Using UGMA funds to buy house

Yes, it is possible to withdraw your grandson's UGMA funds for other investments. To protect your grandson's interests, you may wish to have those transferred to a Trust for your grandson's benefit.

You may contact my office by email or phone for a brief consultation on your case.
