property gift
A gift still being paid for
<p>So, I was gifted a drawing tablet specifically for me on Christmas. Nobody in our home also draws digitally besides me. We're having some family issues so we're trying to leave. But then again theyve said if we leave then they will keep our electronics. <em>(My siblings electronics too.)</em>
 They're still paying for my tablet atleast <em>(renting it sorta? I dont know,,)</em>. So can they take away the tablet they GAVE me for Christmas completely? They're still paying for it so I'm confused if I legally own it or not. I want to leave with my tablet cause it has ALL my photos, art, apps, everything. But I think they still own it due to them still paying for it. 
<em>(I'm sorry if this is confusing)</em></p>

<p>This is tricky. Quite clearly, if you are given a gift, you can keep it. The question is: What exactly is the gift you received?</p>

<p>I might have borrowed £500 from my bank to buy a £500 tablet to give you as a gift. I have to repay the loan, but that’s my problem. The tablet is yours, the loan is between me and my bank. </p>

<p>I might have signed a contract where I paid a £100 deposit and have to pay £50 a month for the next 8 months, and on non-payment the company will take the tablet back. My gift to you was the £100 deposit, and every month I make another £50 gift. If I stop giving the further gifts you lose your tablet. </p>

<p>In that situation you won’t be able to force me to make further £50 gifts, so either you make further payments yourself or lose the tablet. </p>
