Colorado § 11-42-115 - Power to issue shares to minors or in trust.

§ 11-42-115. Power to issue shares to minors or in trust.

(1) An association may issue stock or shares to a minor of any age and receive payments on the stock or shares from, by, or for the minor. A minor may withdraw, transfer, or pledge any shares owned by the minor and receive from the association any dividends or other money that becomes due on the shares in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as an adult, and the minor's receipt or acquittance of such money constitutes a valid release and discharge to the association for the payment of the money. The dealing of an association with a minor has the same effect upon the association's liability as if the minor were of full legal capacity unless the minor's guardian or conservator files with the association a certified copy of the order of a Colorado court having jurisdiction appointing the guardian or conservator and directing otherwise.

(2) Subject to such regulations as the board of directors of the association may prescribe, an association may contract with the proper authorities of any public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school or any public or charitable institution caring for minors for the participation by the association in any school or institutional thrift or savings plan.

(3) Every association has power to issue stock or shares to any person on a revocable trust for another person, who is either named in writing as beneficiary thereof or who is unnamed. At any time during the lifetime of the trustee, the stock or shares, together with dividends, if any, shall be withdrawn only by the trustee. On the death of the trustee, the stock or shares, together with dividends, if any, shall be paid to the person for whom the stock or shares were issued as designated beneficiary, even though the beneficiary is not of full legal capacity, and, if there is no designated beneficiary living at that time, then to the personal representative of the trustee.

(4) The foregoing authorization shall not be construed as providing an exclusive method for a trustee to invest in stock or shares of an association. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as limiting or repealing either section 28-5-214 or 28-5-301, C.R.S., with respect to investment of funds by guardians and conservators of minor and incompetent beneficiaries of the veterans administration, heretofore or hereafter appointed, or part 3 of article 1 of title 15, C.R.S., with respect to investments by fiduciaries.
