Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

No, that would not work, especially if someone else (like another sibling, or one of your creditors) made a claim to those items. The BEST way to give your daughter these items is to do it BEFORE you die as a gift. Wouldn't it be nice to see the expression on your daughter's face when she receives these items? If you don't want to give her these things until your death, I STRONGLY recommend that you have a will prepared by a lawyer and property executed (signed). It will not cost you very much money given that you don't have a lot of property and will ensure that your wishes about where your property goes upon your death are respected. Having a will created will also allow you to direct how you would like to be buried (or cremated or otherwise), where, etc.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
