In Rolinson v. Rolinson (1955) 132 Cal. App. 2d 387, Mary Rolinson claimed that four days before his death, her husband George H. Rolinson, had gifted to her certain corporate stock. The testimony revealed that at George's direction Mary retrieved a tin box from the closet, which was handed to George. George opened the box and took stock certificates from the box. He stated, " 'Mary, I want you to have these. These are yours.' " (Id. at p. 389.) He then closed the box and directed Mary to return the box to the closet, which she did. (Ibid.) George did not endorse the stock certificates but "said 'he was going to have things changed in a few days.' " (Id. at p. 390.) At a meeting after decedent's funeral, Mary asserted no claim to the stock. Rolinson affirmed the trial court's finding that there had been no gift to Mary, as there was no delivery of the stock certificates.
