Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

Yes, if a person lawfully acquired property via a completed gift, then he or she becomes its legal owner. Once title is fully and irrevocably transferred, it is a crime to take that property away, without permission and with intent to deprive permanently (which is one of the legal definitions of theft in WI). Obviously I cannot help you further without knowing more facts of the case, but feel free to request further clarifications after providing me with this information.
