Can my sister open a 529 for our niece?

Asked by Nimis (13255points) September 13th, 2011 from iPhone

My niece is 12 this year. We’d like to start saving for her college tuition, as her mother is not in a position to do so herself. (And her father is not in the picture.)

My sister is thinking about opening a 529 (in California) for her. Can you open one for a family member, but who’s not a legal beneficiary?
