My mother-in-law set up bank accounts for each of my three kids. I've been paying money into each of them every month for about 18 months.
I realise now that I need to set up childrens' ISAs for them, and pay money into that instead (I'm thinking Vanguard Stocks and Shares ISAs- I assume I can get one for kids?). I'd like if possible to move the current balance of the accounts, but I don't understand how that works- the kids can't consent...so...do I just approach the bank and prove i'm their dad? Is the money stuck there until they are 18?
Help!
