Hey Folks, not trying to change the subject but I need a little advise (help) on something else.

Last year I started to set up an educational IRA for my son who is eleven now. But when I read the fine print, I tossed that idea out the window. Now it is a year latter and I'm ready to tackle this again. Not having done any further study, here is my thinking.

I don't think any of the current IRA plans will serve his best interests from here to the age of 21. So I have concluded that the best option is for me to set up another taxable account in my name and list him as the beneficiary. This way I keep control, pay the taxes and if something should happen to me, then it is passed to him (not sure how that works if he is still a minor). Then when he turns 21, I can transfer the account to him or gift parts as I see fit.

Any thoughts or comments?

TIA
Keith
