There is a problem with the idea. When a child reaches majority, should he not then have control over his own finances? What if he needs that nest egg for college? To buy a new jeep? To pay hospital bills? To blow on weed?

How do you assure that the child stays out of the money until retirement age? By then it should be a sizable amount, but only if he didn't raid it for other purposes.

The grandparent or parent may not be capable of co-managing such a fund in later years.

What happens to the money if the child dies?

Maybe some of the lawyer guys around here might have suggestions.
