Although this question might seem to have an obvious answer, there can be disputes regarding assets. Tangible assets are things you can physically touch, which have no title attached, such as furniture, antiques and jewelry. This type of assets are often sentimental items and typically have no material impact on the overall distribution of assets. If one of these tangible assets also happens to be worth a significant amount of money, the asset could be sold to satisfy outstanding debts. Real estate—whether homes, rental property, land or vacation homes—will be distributed according to how the property is titled and how it is bequeathed.
