        (a)  Application of chapter.--This chapter applies to a
     transfer that refers to this chapter in the designation under
     section 5309(a) (relating to manner of creating custodial

     custodian under this chapter is subject to personal jurisdiction
     in this Commonwealth with respect to any matter relating to the
     custodianship.
        (c)  Laws of other states.--A transfer that purports to be
     made and which is valid under the Uniform Transfers to Minors
     Act, the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or a substantially similar
     act of another state is governed by the law of the designated
     state and may be executed and is enforceable in this
     Commonwealth if, at the time of the transfer, the transferor,
     the minor or the custodian is a resident of the designated state
     or the custodial property is located in the designated state.
