FAQ
For every piece of personal property, you want to leave to a specific person, you must name that person in your will. For example, if you want to leave your grand piano to your grandchild or a piece of art to a loved one who has admired it, you must say so specifically in your will.
Personal possessions should not be distributed before probate is completed, as they are part of the estate that must be inventoried and appraised. Distributing items prematurely could lead to legal disputes, especially if they are intended for specific beneficiaries.
You normally need not get very specific, unless an object is particularly valuable. It is enough to list the location of the property: "all household furnishings and possessions in the apartment at 55 Drury Lane."
If an asset does not have a named beneficiary or rights of survivorship, it will have to go through probate to change ownership pursuant to the Florida Probate Rules (2024). The most common assets that go through this process are bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and personal property.
You can write a list of who should receive what item. If your will references the list, it will be enforceable. Be careful about how you describe each item so that there is no confusion. Unlike your will, this list can be if you like, and you can change it without having to go back and redo your will.
Personal property such as vehicles, jewelry, furniture, and collectibles can also be designated in a will. Additionally, financial assets like bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies can be specified in a will.
Per stirpes. One of the simplest strategies for asset distribution among heirs, this method requires that the estate be divided equally among each branch of the family. So, if an heir (a child) should pass away before the parents, their share would be passed along in equal shares to their heirs (the grandchildren).
BEQUEATH. The first-person legal term used to leave someone personal property n the will (e.g., “I bequeath my antique car to my brother Jody).” BEQUEST. The legal term used to describe personal property left in a will. BLOCKED ACCOUNTS.
Tangible personal property refers to physical assets that individuals own, such as furniture, vehicles, electronics, and jewelry. Adding tangible personal property provisions to your estate plan ensures smooth inheritance, prevents disputes, and helps distribute sentimental items as you wish.
You normally need not get very specific, unless an object is particularly valuable. It is enough to list the location of the property: "all household furnishings and possessions in the apartment at 55 Drury Lane."
