📜Estate PlanningCategory: Estate Planning | FinSeniors, Worthune.com A Tangible Personal Property Memorandum (TPPM) is a powerful but underused estate planning tool. It lets you specify who receives your personal belongings — jewelry, art, furniture, collectibles, heirlooms, vehicles — without amending your will every time you change your mind. As long as your will references this memorandum, it can be legally binding in most states, and you can update it yourself at any time without returning to your attorney.
How a TPPM Works
💡 Check your state's requirements. In some states the memorandum must be entirely handwritten and signed to be valid. Ask your estate planning attorney.
Section A: Jewelry & Watches
Section B: Art, Antiques & Collectibles
