(a) The validity of a transfer made in a manner prescribed in this chapter is not affected by:
(1) Failure of the transferor to comply with section 35-5A-10(c) concerning possession and control;
(2) Designation of an ineligible custodian, except designation of the transferor in the case of property for which the transferor is ineligible to serve as custodian under section 35-5A-10(a); or
(3) Death or incapacity of a person nominated under section 35-5A-4 or designated under section 35-5A-10 as custodian or the disclaimer of the office by that person.
(b) A transfer made pursuant to section 35-5A-10 is irrevocable, and conveys to the minor indefeasibly vested title to the custodial property, but the custodian has the rights, powers, duties, and authority provided in this chapter, and neither the minor nor the minor's legal representative has any right, power, duty, or authority with respect to the custodial property except as provided in this chapter. Neither the minor nor the minor's legal representative can transfer by assignment or otherwise custodial property.
(c) By making a transfer, the transferor incorporates in the disposition all the provisions of this chapter and grants to the custodian, and to any third person dealing with a person designated as custodian, the respective powers, rights, and immunities provided in this chapter.
(d) Making a transfer to a custodian pursuant to this chapter does not authorize the custodian to settle or release a claim of the minor against the transferor or a third party.
