Wyoming Statutes Title 34. Property, Conveyances and Security Transactions § 34-13-116. Nomination of future custodian

(a) A person having the right to designate the recipient of property transferable upon the occurrence of a future event may revocably nominate a future custodian to receive the property for a minor beneficiary upon the occurrence of the event by naming the future custodian followed in substance by the words: “as custodian for․․․․ (name of minor) under the Wyoming Uniform Transfers to Minors Act”. The nomination may name one (1) or more persons as substitute future custodians to whom the property shall be transferred, in the order named, if the first nominated future custodian dies before the transfer, or is unable, declines or is ineligible to serve. The nomination may be made in a will, a trust, an instrument exercising a power of appointment or in a writing designating a beneficiary of contractual rights which is delivered to the payor, issuer or other obligor of the contractual rights.

(b) A future custodian nominated under this section shall be a person to whom a transfer of property of that kind may be made under W.S. 34-13-122(a).

(c) The nomination of a future custodian under this section does not create custodial property until the nominating instrument becomes irrevocable or a transfer to the nominated custodian is completed under W.S. 34-13-122. Unless the nomination of a future custodian has been revoked, upon the occurrence of the future event the custodianship becomes effective and the custodian shall enforce a transfer of the custodial property pursuant to W.S. 34-13-122.
