The implementation of the property will manage the retaining and the

your dealloc method.
Although in dealloc
self.myProperty = nil;
would also work, which has the added benefit that you'll notice
when you're
talking to an object that has already been released, because then
all its
object ivars will be NIL.
A disadvantage of this approach is that you'll be invoking the setter
when your object is partially torn down. If you later override or
implement the method, you are not likely to be thinking about the
possibility that the object is not in a valid state. Calling methods
from init has the same issue.
You may fire off observer methods too, which is probably undesirable.
This is the "mirror" of the problem, when you initialize an object. Of
course, theoretically in both cases the usage of setters are
dangerous. In most cases the deallocation of the object in reverse
order to its initialization will not lead to any problems. It is no
problem, when you have synthisized accessors, because they have noch
side-effects.
