Once an Indian turns 18, they may personally receive and sign for their own annuity money. This applies to any annuity money owed to them. An exception applies if Indian Office rules say they're otherwise legally unable to.

Once an Indian reaches the age of 18, that person has the right to personally receive and sign a receipt for any annuity money owed to them — unless the Indian Office's own regulations say the person is legally incapacitated in some other way.
