If your kid keeps it in their name only, it should be safe. Once it hits a JT account, it's marital property.


I don't think it's as simple as that.. If the other spouse claims it's all marital property, 10 years down the road, you'll have to prove that the source of the money and documented intent behind that gift as given to you vs both of you.

If you want to worry about this, you need a comprehensive estate plan and a pre/post nup. You don’t want to rely on the default rules for cash gifts.
