Here it is-
I am owned from birth until death,
never borrowed nor stolen can I be.
Yet I am most often used by others,
and rarely by the one who possesses me.What am I?

Is it
your name?
I am owned from birth until death,
your name is yours from birth until death
never borrowed nor stolen can I be.
your name is yours and can't be borrowed or stolen (unlike your identity)
Yet I am most often used by others,
people use your name when communicating with youi
and rarely by the one who possesses me.
rarely do you call yourself by your own name.

Is it
your name? In Western Civilization, one usually keeps it his whole life, but he/she almost never uses it - it's used by others.
