The Custodial Membership account is FOR-THE-BENEFIT-OF (fbo ) the AHC memberÕs minor legal-dependent and is referred to henceforth as "Beneficiary/Custodial Member".
- The parent or legal guardian signing the original AHC Membership Application for the Custodial Membership account has to be an AHC member in good standing. He/She will be the primary custodian responsible for operating the account, and he/she may deposit funds, transfer funds, withdraw funds, authorize address or other changes on the account and/or close the account.
- The initial membership fee of US$100.00 is being waived for opening a Custodial Membership account at this time.
