a few mths ago I asked a question about personal property, and it would help if you checked this question in my profile first, but here it is...My uncle left my house in May...left his $1,500 1 yr old pool table, which I was going to hold against him for $ he owed me, but decided to let it go. He has told me a few times he was going to get the table, but has failed to do so...my question is this...when is it legally mine, if ever, so we can stop this merry go round? I want to be done with this feud one way or another!

will a lawyer be my best bet? I really don't understand the legal mumbo jumbo they put into written laws...it's all double talk to me, I just was hoping someone out there knew for sure.

Send him a certified letter giving him 30 days to remove his property. Keep it very simple.
"Dear uncle Dead Beat;
Please allow this notice to serve as final warning.
You have 30 days to remove all personal property including pt not limited to Brunswick pool table from my residence (1234 My St, Sunny FL 33000). After such date all said property will be forfited. Items may be sold or held by __(your legal name__) to cover all costs incurred and past debt."
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerly
Me"
For extra legal measure you can file a claim or register the letter at your local courthouse.
Good Luck!

Report of abandoned property.

Property presumed abandoned; general rule.
