Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
if you are given a necklace for your birthday and the person who gave it to you demands it back after 2 months are you legally required to give it to them?

It's a gift. So, in giving a gift there is usually no contract, because you never gave the other person any consideration for it. To the extent that there is not contract you are not obligated to give them back anything. However, people are crazy and he/she might press charges claiming that you stole the necklace.
I would just give it back.
