Can I add my partner or spouse to my child’s investment account?

Can I add my partner or spouse to my child’s investment account?

UGMA accounts can have only one custodian. It’s not possible to add a second custodian or provide shared account management access.

The custodian is the adult who opens and manages the account on the child’s behalf until the child reaches the age of majority, which varies by state. Only the designated custodian can:

  • Make contributions or withdrawals

  • Update account information

  • Change investment settings

  • Access official account documents

If another parent or guardian would like visibility into the account, you can share account updates or statements with them directly.

Can I change the custodian?

In general, the custodian cannot be changed after the account is opened. If you believe a change may be needed due to a legal or significant life event, please email support@meetfabric.com so we can help review your options.
