Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Personal belongings

My fiances bought his house from his mother seven years ago. He has asked her to come get all (and I do mean all) of her belongings several times. She agrees, but never follows through.

Legally, are her belongings now his to get rid of as he wishes?
