Endeveor,
a ex called want stuff he left here. It is gone!legally can he do anything? never lived here?
He wants me to help him find an apartment in vicinity. I hung up when he called and he called back leaving mess. If do not intend on talking to him,he wants all his stuff he did not want me to have. Which I donated the most of it to charity. Do to some of his past endeveor I am concerned about this. Legally can he do anything. Please someone let me know.
We need more facts: how long ago did your ex leave the property with you; what was stated by your boyfriend after he left, concerning the property; and what type of property was involved.
You have the defenses of gifting and abandonement.
!. Gift: If the items were given to you as a gift, then they are yours. If the items are very personal, i.e. a mink stole, then there may be a presumption that they were gifted. If it was a sofa, then it is less reasonable to presume it was a gift.
2. Abandonement: If your boyfriend left without stating when he was coming back; if your ex told you to hold on to the items, and he did not ask for them for a long period of time thereafter, you can assert the items were abandoned.
The court will look to the reasonableness of his actions and your actions.
Good luck!
