I am still custodian utma, can I still get less cash recieved?

Question

I have a scholarship check and a I really need to pay for books with it and my mother still on my account as guardian I am 18 and this ridiculous. I can't withdrawl, but can I pull out cash from checks while I am depositing???

Answer 1

no, you have to be a signer on the account to get cash. (but sometimes tellers don't pay enough attention and do it anyway)   Have your mother go to the bank and have the account changed now that you are 18. i know it sucks, but those types of accounts don't automatically change when you turn 18.
