Rashmikutty, as per the majority act, you become a major when you turn 18. From then on, you have all the rights and responsibilities that an adult has. And that includes money matters also.
Whatever balances that are there in any bank accounts you might have, become your own money, and any parent/guardian who has been handling the account for you has to move out of the picture. You can sign your own cheques and can sue or be sued.

Those rights differ in different states, but in many places an 18 year old is considered an adult.
I don't know what state you are in, but most states are subdivided into counties, and each county has a county clerk's office. You can go there and ask an attendant that question and they will either reply, or suggest the file location where you can look it up.
Or, go into an Internet search and type the question in.
The BIG problem with Internet websites is, sometimes it is very difficult to verify if a website is legitimate or a sham.

In america 18 year olds have the rights to everything but alcahol. You have a right to your money and no one else does. If someone's trying to get you to give them your money, you don't have to do it. I'm assuming you're speaking out about a parent. If you live with them, they also have the right to kick you out (or you have the right to move, or quit school, or whatever) You don't need mommy and daddy anymore, but remember you get the full consequences of your actions. Dont' date minors, do do drugs, don't drink, because you're the one going to jail, not mommy or daddy.
What are you asking about the money part for. (oh and you can open your own bank account without needing someone to sign)

A minor attains majority at 18. He will no more be under any guardianship. He ceases to be a juvenile. He can cast his vote at elections. He will not acquire any extra rights.
His responsibilities start at 18. On commission of any crime and its proof, he may be imprisoned, whereas minors cannot be. He will be accountable for his monetary transactions.

That would depend on what country you live in and whether you still live at home (i.e. with your parents). Your question is impossible to answer without these details.
