Successor Custodian UGMA


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PAA grandparent was the custodian of a mutual fund account for a minor grandchild under the PA UGMA. The grandparent died four years ago. The grandchild is still a minor (age 19) and wants to have her parent named as successor custodian. It is necessary to petition the court (Phila.) to do this. Do you know how to petition the court-I cannot find a form and Phila. does not have a form. Is it necessary to use an attorney to do this?

19 is not a minor.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
