Q: Does a titled vehicle count as property in the house left to someone in a will?
My wife is executor of her recently deceased uncle's will. She was left his house and all contents. He never signed the title of his vehicle over to her. Is it included as house contents, personal property or does she have to sell it and add money to estate for further distribution of assets to family? Thanks
A: Linder the facts you provided, it does not go to her but should be sold to pays his debts or divided equally among the heirs if there are no debts.
