Minnesota Will Personal Property List
Minnesota Will Personal Property List
A Minnesota Will may incorporate by reference a written Minnesota Will Personal Property List identified in M.S. Section 524.2-513.
What is the Purpose of a Minnesota Will Personal Property List?
The purpose of a Minnesota Will Personal Property List is to identify the disposition of certain items of tangible personal property not otherwise specifically identified in the Minnesota Will.
Requirements of a Valid Minnesota Will Personal Property List
A Minnesota Will Personal Property List must:
- be referred to in the Will,
- describe the property items and the recipients of such property with reasonable certainty, and
- either be in the handwriting of the Will maker, or signed by the Will maker.
Any such Minnesota Will Personal Property List may be prepared either before, or after, the Minnesota Will is signed, since M.S. Section 524.2-513 provides in part as follows:
The writing may be referred to as one to be in existence at the time of the testator’s death;
it may be prepared before or after the execution of the will;
it may be altered by the testator after its preparation;
and it may be a writing which has no significance apart from its effect upon the dispositions made by the will.
However, if the same item of personal property is given to different persons pursuant to different documents, the most recent document will control the disposition of such property.
Property That Cannot be Included in a Minnesota Will Personal Property List
Gifts of money, coin collections, and property used in trade or business cannot be made in any Minnesota Will Personal Property List.
