If a minor is receiving a settlement, frequently a court will need to approve the settlement and will require any funds received to be placed in a restricted account. These options may include an account with the court, a structured settlement annuity or a trust. At NDC Advisors, we understand that having the flexibility to have funds available to promote the growth, health and education of a minor is important. That is why we created the Master Trust for Minors.
