Converting a small UTMA account for a post 18 minor to a 529 plan. Primary purpose is to remove assets from minor's list for FAFSA purposes (OK with FAFSA). Minor does not have control of the UTMA currently as it is transferred at age 21 and minor is 20 yrs old right now:
- What are the limitations? Can I "roll it all over" or is there an annual limit on the amount that goes into the 529?
- If the 529 does not end up being used completely for higher ed purposes, what, in general, is the penalty for withdrawing for another purpose?
- Can it be used for Grad school as well Under Grad?
- Any other tidbits of a 529 I might want to be aware of or look into before doing this?
Thanks,
