Section 35-5A-23

Transfers made before and custodianships existing on October 1, 1986; property held in custodianship which terminated between July 22, 1975, and October 1, 1986, when minor attained age 19.

(a) Any transfer of custodial property as now defined in this chapter made before October 1, 1986, is validated notwithstanding that there was no specific authority in the Alabama Uniform Gifts to Minors Act for the coverage of custodial property of that kind or for a transfer from that source at the time the transfer was made.

(b) This chapter applies to all transfers made before October 1, 1986, in a manner and form prescribed in the Alabama Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, except insofar as the application impairs constitutionally vested rights or extends the duration of custodianships in existence on October 1, 1986.

(c) Sections 35-5A-2 and 35-5A-21 with respect to the age of a minor for whom custodial property is held under this chapter do not apply to custodial property held in a custodianship that terminated because of the minor's attainment of the age of 19 after July 22, 1975 and before October 1, 1986.
