While both types of compounds make up the basis of chemistry, the two types are rather different. The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. While most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon, there are a few that do.
Minor Children: If your designated beneficiary is a minor (under age 18) at the time of your death, your benefit will be paid to the childâs court-appointed guardian. Alternatively, you may designate a custodian to receive the benefit on behalf of the minor under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA).
You can designate this fiduciary in a free-standing legal document, in an advance medical directive, or in a medical or financial power of attorney. A guardian for minor children: This fiduciary is responsible for taking care of your minor children in the event you die while your children are still minors.
