Q: My dad died intestate in Essex County, NJ. How to get car title to spouse's name with as little paperwork as possible.
After dad died, we notified his bank and they accelerated his car loan. They said the loan would have to be paid off or the car would be repossessed. Mom paid off loan but the title came in his name. Now, we want to sell the car. Of course, my mom is older and we want to get this done with as little paperwork as possible.
A: File an application for the probate of an intestate decedent's estate with the Surrogate's Court in Essex County.
