AS 13.60.010. Custodial Trust.

(a) A person may create a custodial trust of property by a written transfer of the property to another person, evidenced by registration or by other instrument of transfer, executed in a lawful manner, naming as beneficiary an individual, who may be the transferor, and in which the transferee is designated, in substance, as custodial trustee under this chapter.
(b) A person may create a custodial trust of property by a written declaration, evidenced by registration of the property or by other instrument of declaration executed in a lawful manner, describing the property and naming as beneficiary an individual other than the declarant, in which the declarant as titleholder is designated, in substance, as custodial trustee under this chapter. A registration or other declaration of trust for the sole benefit of the declarant is not a custodial trust under this chapter.
(c) Title to custodial trust property is in the custodial trustee and the beneficial interest is in the beneficiary.
(d) Except as provided in (e) of this section, a transferor may not terminate a custodial trust.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by AS 13.12.212 (c), the beneficiary, if not incapacitated, or the conservator of an incapacitated beneficiary, may terminate a custodial trust by delivering to the custodial trustee a writing signed by the beneficiary or conservator declaring the termination. If not previously terminated, the custodial trust terminates on the death of the beneficiary.
(f) A person may augment existing custodial trust property by the addition of other property as provided in this chapter.
(g) The transferor may designate, or authorize the designation of, a successor custodial trustee in the trust instrument.
(h) This chapter does not displace or restrict other means of creating trusts. A trust whose terms do not conform to this chapter may be enforceable according to its terms under other law.
