Yes but that creates a problem to convey or use the property until 18. It is better if it is conveyed to the minor under the Florida Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (which is 21 years of age) and name a Custodian. Upon reaching the age of 21, the custodian will transfer ownership to them. If you want to do something with the property, then the Custodian can do it for them.
