Animating a character with props.
Hello all.
I'm hoping someone can give me an answer to this. Wasn't sure which thread to put this into. Animation, rigging, so I decided it needs to go into the basics thread. Hope that's correct!
I have a human character walking into a scene carrying a briefcase. He walks up to a table and puts the briefcase onto the table, lets it go and walks to the other side of the room.
What I need to know from anyone here, is there a simple way to attach/unattach the briefcase to my characters hand while he walks in, and get it to let go when he places it onto the table.
I guess this question will apply to any prop that needs to be held/released by the character, such as a TV remote control, beer bottle etc.
I just can't figure out a simple way to do it.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Why isn't it Froderick Fronkenstein?
