If your case involves over these amounts, you should consult an attorney to determine how to proceed. Also, the people or property involved must have some contact in the county where the case is brought. You cannot sue in any county you choose. A Special Note. Personal property is any property other than buildings or land.
Personal property includes such items as automobiles, furniture and clothing.
If someone is holding personal property that belongs to you, there is a way to use the courts to force the person holding your property to return it. An action to recover personal property is a special type of civil lawsuit you can file to get specific property back. If the property has been destroyed, lost or for some other reason is now useless or unavailable, the court may order that you be paid the value of the property. Of course, before you take court action, you should write the person holding your property or money and ask that it be returned. You should set a certain time period, such as ten days, within which the person should respond to your letter.
