ALEXANDRIA, Va. — NCUA's legal team has stated that guardian accounts, as set up under Georgia law, receive $100,000 deposit insurance coverage.

As explained in NCUA Legal Opinion Letter 06-0840, a letter from Combined Employees Credit Union President Grace M. Harmon outlined separate guardian accounts for minors at Combined Employees Credit Union set up by a probate judge acting as conservator.
