Answer:
State law varies on whether an engagement ring is considered a legal gift or a conditional gift. If it's a conditional gift, your daughter may need to return the ring to reclaim your property. However, the ex-fiancée's demand for the ring before returning your items raises concerns about trust. It's important to document all communication and consider seeking legal advice to address the threats of a court case and to recover your property.
