If my parents used a UGMA for my college fund am I screwed?

Wait a minute, here is what the OP wrote</p>

<p>Quote:
I have a Uniform Gifts to Minor’s Act that my parent’s put aside for my college fund from money relatives gave them.</p>

<p>I read this as relatives having contributed the money, not the parents.

<p>You’re right, Pea - I stopped reading the sentence after the words “that my parents put aside . . .” If the funds weren’t the parents’ assets to begin with, then the advice about seeing whether colleges will treat them the same as parental assets isn’t relevant.</p>
