Heading: Nakamichi Mini Receiver, Tape and Compact Disc Player, Two Two-way Speakers and Twelve-inch Pro Series Sub Woofer

Text: The probate master found that Blair did not assert an ownership interest in the Nakamichi mini receiver, tape and compact disc player, two two-way speakers and a sub woofer, and had no knowledge of their whereabouts, and that Bowman had not established that the items were in Blair's possession or control. This finding is not clearly erroneous as Blair testified that she had no knowledge whatsoever of any Nakamichi stereo system and claimed no ownership interest in it. The probate master also appropriately ordered Blair to return those items to Bowman if Blair were to discover them among her possessions. With regard to the two two-way speakers, the probate master erroneously grouped these speakers with the Nakamichi stereo system instead of with the Alpine car stereo. [7] However, because the probate master also found that Bowman failed to prove Monge's ownership of the Alpine car stereo at the time of his death, and because the two disputed speakers were part of the car stereo system, the probate master necessarily must have found also that Bowman did not prove ownership of the two two-way speakers. Thus, we affirm the probate master's conclusion that Bowman is not entitled to any of the stereo system components.
