Withdrawing from your Custodial Portfolio
As the custodian, you can withdraw money from a custodial account if you need to use it to pay for something that will benefit the minor. You can’t take the money back yourself, or give it to someone else. Some examples of eligible expenses include college or high school tuition, extracurricular activities, sports or music classes, etc.
Please note that this differs from 529 and Coverdell plans. With 529 plans, you can only withdraw for eligible higher education expenses. In the case of Coverdell plans, withdrawals can only be made for the purposes of K-12 and higher education expenses.
If you are the beneficiary of the custodial account, you can withdraw funds once you legally become an adult.
