<prompt> Human: My sister recently had a baby and the whole time she was pregnant I begged her to set one up for her son. Its been months and she hasnt made any effort at setting up a savings plan for her son. I refuse to send garbage toys or money that might not get spent on the child. Can I start a 529 in his name? What are some good routes to go with this? Is that gerber plan a scam? Is this the right forum to go to with this issue?Any insight or info on the matter would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Yes, you can. I hate to just send you to a website, but check this link out that website should have all the information you need, and will probably explain stuff better than I could:
