Q: My father passed and his girlfriend is still living in his house. I want to get possession of his vehicle. Is this legal
I have applied for title and registered in my name. It's been two weeks. She'll be mad but has blocked me from my dads house and I feel I need to act. Now that it's in my name, I believe I'm liable?
A: Have you spoken with a probate attorney about this? That would be a good place to start.
A:
I assume you have had title transferred to you name by some sort of affidavit in lieu of probate procedure? Sure, if title is in you name you can take possession of the vehicle, as long as you can do so peacefully.
Is there no equity on the house, thus making formal probate unnecessary?
