It seems unfair to preallocate property among otherwise identical copies of a person, but it's certainly physically possible -- and I can't think of any reason why we'd want to prevent copies from negotiating their own ownership of property once their state vectors have diverged. Seems like a reasonable analogy to the economic side of divorce.
This is a pretty science-fictional aside, though.
