§58-1204.
A. A person having the right to designate the recipient of property
transferable upon the occurrence of a future event may revocably
nominate a custodian to receive the property for a minor beneficiary
upon the occurrence of the event by naming the custodian followed in
substance by the words: "as custodian for ________________ (name of
minor) under the Oklahoma Uniform Transfers to Minors Act." The
nomination may name one or more persons as substitute custodians to
whom the property must be transferred, in the order named, if the
first nominated custodian dies before the transfer or is unable,
declines, or is ineligible to serve. The nomination may be made in a
will, a trust, a deed, an instrument exercising a power of
appointment, or in a writing designating a beneficiary of contractual
rights which is registered with or delivered to the payor, issuer, or
other obligor of the contractual rights.
B. A custodian nominated pursuant to the provisions of this section
must be a person to whom a transfer of property of that kind may be
made according to the provisions of subsection A of Section 10 of this
act.
C. The nomination of a custodian pursuant to the provisions of this
section does not create custodial property until the nominating
instrument becomes irrevocable or a transfer to the nominated
custodian is completed pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of
this act. Unless the nomination of a custodian has been revoked, upon
the occurrence of the future event the custodianship becomes effective
and the custodian shall enforce a transfer of the custodial property
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of this act.
