Transferring non-titled personal property is an issue that affects almost everyone. Personal belongings such as family photographs, a baseball glove, or a yellow pie plate can contain meaning for several family members.
Families divide and distribute family treasures.
This occurs when parents, aunts, uncles, or other close members move, remarry, or die. Decisions about both titled and non-titled property are important. Whether handled at the time of death or during one's lifetime, planning for the transfer of non-titled property can be a challenge. Decisions made by owners prior to death allow the person transferring the property to reflect on one's decisions. They can consider the recipients' wishes.
