<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who wants to transfer a real estate title to a minor. I have not done this before but in reviewing RCW 11.114 (specifically, RCW 11.114.030 & 11.114.090(e)), I believe that it can be done. The statute provides the necessary
language for the transfer: “…, as custodian for … (name of minor)”. Moreover, the statute allows the deed to name a successor custodian and to extend the custodianship to the minor’s twenty-fifth birthday. If anyone has any guidance, please advise. Thank
you!<o:p></o:p></p>
