Trover is a legal term that refers to a type of action used to recover personal property that has been wrongfully taken or withheld. It allows an individual to seek the return of their belongings from someone who possesses them without legal right. This action is typically used in cases where the property is identifiable and can be returned to its rightful owner. In a Trover case, the plaintiff must prove that they had ownership or a right to possess the property and that the defendant wrongfully took or retained it. The outcome can result in the return of the property or compensation for its value if it cannot be returned.
