§ 31-38. Scope and jurisdiction
This chapter applies to any transfer that refers to the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or this chapter in the designation under subsection A of § 31-45 by which the transfer is made if, at the time of the transfer, the transferor, the minor, or the custodian is a resident of this Commonwealth or the custodial property is located in this Commonwealth. The custodianship so created remains subject to this chapter despite a subsequent change in residence of a transferor, the minor, or the custodian, or the removal of custodial property from the Commonwealth.
A person designated as custodian under this chapter is subject to personal jurisdiction in this Commonwealth with respect to any matter relating to the custodianship.
A transfer that purports to be made and which is valid under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or a substantially similar act of another state is governed by the law of the designated state and may be executed and is enforceable in the Commonwealth if, at the time of the transfer, the transferor, the minor, or the custodian is a resident of the designated state or the custodial property is located in the designated state.
