Jimenez v. Lee

274 Or. 457, 547 P.2d 126 (1976)

Facts

As a minor, Jimenez (P) received a bond and a cash gift, which were held by her and one of her parents jointly. The donors of these gifts intended for the money to be used for P's education. P sued her father (D), alleging that the funds were held for her in trust and for an accounting of the funds. The lower court dismissed the complaint, holding that D held the funds as P's custodian, pursuant to the Uniform Gift to Minors Act, and not as a trustee. P appealed.
