  • Donor: The person who makes a gift.
  • Gift: A voluntary transfer or conveyance of property without consideration, or for less than full and adequate consideration based on fair market value.
  • person: includes corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships and joint stock companies as well as individuals, unless restricted by the context to an individual as distinguished from a corporate entity or specifically restricted to one or some of the above enumerated synonyms and, when used to designate the owner of property which may be the subject of an offense, includes this State, the United States, any other State of the United States as defined infra and any foreign country or government lawfully owning or possessing property within this State. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
If one person has been designated custodian of 2 or more custodial gifts for the same minor he may combine and treat them for all purposes as if they were a single custodial gift. If, however, any successor custodian under one such gift does not have the same status under another such gift, the gifts shall be held and administered separately unless the court shall provide for a single succession of custodians upon an application under this section.

Upon application of a person who has been designated custodian of 2 or more custodial gifts, each from a different donor, for the same minor, where any successor custodian under one such gift does not have the same status under another such gift, the court may provide for a single succession of custodians for all such gifts notwithstanding the designations by the donors.
