Guardian IRA
An IRA held in the name of a legal guardian or parent on behalf of either a child under the age of 18-21 (depending on state legislation) or an individual who is incapable of handling finances due to physical or mental disability. Investopedia Says:
The guardian is responsible for signing documents on behalf of the minor or special-needs adult. The responsibilities of the guardian cease once the child is no longer a minor or until the adult is able to handle his/her finances. Related Terms:
