Personal property memorandum for Pennsylvania
A personal property memorandum lists who receives particular belongings, so the will itself does not have to be rewritten every time you change your mind.
$9, or $5 for a second household member ($14 for both). Includes 6 months of changes.
What you pay counts in full toward a package.
Who this is for
- You have specific objects with specific people attached to them.
- You expect the list to change and do not want to re-sign a will each time.
- Your family is more likely to fall out over the furniture than over the money.
- You have already made a will and want to add the detail.
What it does not do
- It works only where a will refers to it. On its own it is a wish list. If you have no will, this document has nothing to attach to.
- It covers tangible personal property, not money, accounts or real estate.
- Airlooms currently prints a review callout on this document asking you not to rely on it until the state-specific question is resolved. That is the honest status and it is on the document itself.

Get started
The fights that follow a death are rarely about the estate. They are about the ring, the clock, the tools in the garage.
A personal property memorandum is where that detail belongs, kept out of the will so you can revise it without a signing ceremony. It only works because the will points at it, which is why this page says plainly that you need one.
This document also carries a review callout. Airlooms prints it on the document, and the page repeats it here: confirm how a separate memorandum may be used in your state before you rely on it.
Common questions
Do I need a will for this to work?
Yes. The memorandum takes effect through a will that refers to it. Without one, it records your wishes and binds nothing.
Can I change it without a lawyer?
That is the point of the form. Where a state recognises it, the memorandum can be updated without re-executing the will.
What can I put in it?
Tangible things: jewellery, furniture, tools, instruments, collections, a car. Not bank accounts, not shares, not the house.
What is the review callout on the document?
Airlooms prints a notice on this document asking you to confirm with counsel whether and how a separate memorandum may be used in your state before you sign it. We would rather tell you that here than let you find it after paying.
What if two people want the same thing?
Say so in the memorandum, and say what happens if the first person does not survive you. Silence is what creates the argument.
