Legal Question in Family Law in California

What are the laws in California concerning a minor's right to own personal property (assuming that the personal property in questions has not been vested to the minor in any written or formalized document)? Specifically, I am wondering who is the legal owner of a minor's personal belongings (clothes, toys, radio, computer, mp3 player, etc.).
