Personal Property

How do I transfer personal property like jewelry and collectibles through a trust?

Personal property transfers through your trust by creating a personal property memorandum or schedule that lists specific items and their intended beneficiaries. This document works alongside your trust to specify who receives jewelry, artwork, furniture, and other valuables. Unlike real estate, personal property doesn't require separate title transfers - the memorandum becomes part of your trust instructions. Many families find this approach prevents disputes and ensures sentimental items reach the right people.
