Legal Definitions - TPPM

TPPM stands for Tangible Personal Property Memorandum.

A Tangible Personal Property Memorandum is a legal document that lists personal property items and who should receive them after the owner's death. This document is often used in conjunction with a will or trust.

• Jane creates a TPPM and lists her jewelry collection, artwork, and antique furniture. She designates her daughter as the recipient of the jewelry, her son as the recipient of the artwork, and her niece as the recipient of the antique furniture.
• John includes a TPPM with his will, listing his coin collection, stamp collection, and vintage car. He designates his grandson as the recipient of the coin collection, his daughter as the recipient of the stamp collection, and his son as the recipient of the vintage car.

These examples illustrate how a TPPM can be used to specify who should receive certain personal property items after the owner's death. By creating a TPPM, the owner can ensure that their personal property is distributed according to their wishes and can help prevent disputes among family members.
