Georgia Code § 7-1-351 - Minors' Deposits and Safe-Deposit Agreements

(a) A bank may receive deposits from:

(1) A minor; or

(2) A minor with one or more adults or other minors, as party to and with the same effect as a multiple-party account under Article 8 of this chapter.

(b) A bank or trust company may rent a safe-deposit box or other receptacle for safe deposit of property to, and receive property for safe deposit from, a minor, individually or jointly with one or more adults or other minors.

(c) A bank or trust company may deal with a minor with respect to a deposit account or safe-deposit agreement covered by subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section without the consent of a parent or guardian and with the same effect as though the minor were an adult. A parent or guardian shall not have any right in that capacity to interfere with any such transaction. Any action of the minor with respect to such deposit account or safe-deposit agreement shall be binding on the minor with the same effect as though the minor were an adult.
