PER CURIAM.
We review on this appeal whether the trial court erred in determining that certain assets were estate rather than trust assets. The decedent created a living trust which provided for the inter vivos conveyance of certain personal property to trustees. The trust document referred to a list of personal assets to be attached to the trust document to effectuate the conveyance. The list was never attached. The decedent also left a will which contained a provision disposing of assets by a separate writing, pursuant to section 732.515, Florida Statutes. A list disposing of personal property was found in decedent’s safe with both the trust and the will. Consequently, a question of fact arose as to whether the personal property in question had been conveyed into the living trust or whether it had *1068passed under the separate writing provision of the will. We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s determination that the property passed under decedent’s estate. We therefore affirm.
