When someone gives you something, is it yours legally?

Basically, my (now ex) boyfriend gave me 2 phones while we were together. One was because i lost one my phones and the other one was a gift. He never mentioned that i would have to give either of them back if and when we broke up. But now we have he is demanding i give them back. He has a perfectly good working IPhone 4S.

So do i have to give them back or are they legally mine? Because neither me or my dad have money to buy me a new phone at the moment.

Lol there's no legal here! Just tell him to f off!

A gift is a gift and he is not entitled to get his gift back just because you two broke up. Tell him to watch some Peoples Court.

Give it back! When he gifted u somethng. He was wid u.
and its no cheap thng tht he can frgt abt. And let it be wid u. I wud hv returned it

I think since its a gift, you can keep it. Still, if I were you, I would give them back so I wouldn't be able to remember him. Still, you can't afford a new phone right now so your wiser to hold onto them for now. If you want them, keep them. If not, return them. Its your decision to make.

  • Would You Say Something If You Saw Someone Being Pick Pocketed? Yes or no? I was pick pocketed on Monday and a man was kind enough to help me out and get my iphone off the thief who was very brazen as the street I was walking on was very busy.
  • Would you play an iphone game cause it gives you money? I have an iphone game that is going to be released in a week. I intended to give the weekly top scorer real money ($100). Would you play this game even if it wasn't too appealing?
  • Would you play an iphone game cause it gives you money? - 2 I have an iphone game that is going to be released in a week. I intended to give the weekly top scorer real money ($100 and it will increase as the player base increases). Would you play this game even if it wasn't too appealing? I.e, if you are the weekly top scorer you will get paid $100. It is not a gambling game at all, it all depends on you scoring the highest score weekly.
