A: It depends. If you have documentation showing proof of ownership, and if you are confident an Arkansas probate judge would rule that you own the items. But be absolutely certain you can prove not only your ownership, but that you owned the property prior to the decedent’s death, and that no creditors of the decedent had a security interest in the assets you removed. Use extreme caution and consult an attorney first.
