If I take control of a location controlled by someone else (using for example disputed territory ) that has a minion assigned to it, for example palatial estate , do I get to assign a new minion to it or is the stealing essentially useless? (same vampire gains 1 blood, but during MY master phase?)

It moves to a minion you control (of your choice).

Equipments which are Locations (Loquipment): Loquipment doesn't count as equipment while it is in play. [RTR 19960112] Loquipment may be put on any minion if moved in an ambiguous fashion (by Disputed Territory, e.g.). If the new controller has no minions, the locquipment is burned. (Note: currently all moves are ambiguous - TOM). [RTR 19960112] Transferring Locquipment via Disputed Territory to the *same* Methuselah that currently controls the locquipment results in no effect - the locquipment cannot be moved to a different minion of the same Methuselah.
