Transfers to Minors Act, the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or a substantially
similar act of another state is governed by the law of the designated state and
may be executed and is enforceable in the Commonwealth if, at the time of the
transfer, the transferor, the minor, or the custodian is a resident of the
designated state or the custodial property is located in the designated state.
