I have a young child, and would like to invest for their future and make use of the 3k per annum small gifts exemption. I've seen a few options such as a bare trust and a Child's saving plan. But they all mature at age 18, and give complete control of the money to the child.
I knew a couple of people who received inheritances at age 18, and blew through the money within a couple years, and deeply regretted it. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if they got it at, say age 30, when they've hopefully experienced the world and the workplace a little bit.
Are there any kinds of trust funds or anything, where the money is locked away for a longer time?
