Default tax status of income from UGMA/UTMA

While researching UGMA/UTMA, I came across the following
comment at http://www.efmoody.com/miscellaneous/ugma.html:

UGMA- UNIFORM GIFTS TO MINORS ACT: These are custodial
accounts that parents can establish for a minor. The
account is managed by a custodian who should not be parent -
otherwise the income will be taxed to parent.

which seems wrong to me. My understanding is that, if the
donor and custodian are the same person, the amounts in the
UGMA/UTMA will be included in the custodian's estae if s/he
dies before the minor reaches majority. Regardless, the
income from UGMA/UTMA is taxed at the minor's rate (up to
$1500 if under 14). Correct?
