Q: How can I get my dads car/ auto loan in my name if my father has no will or tod?
He doesn't have other assets besides the car and a home loan but his roommate is the sole owner of the home loan now. All I want is to payoff his car and get it in my name without taking on any other unknown debt or paying taxes? I can't afford anything but the car. Is there a easier way through probate or not just to get the car title transferred without full financial responsibility of estate? Or am I out the only important thing that matters to me? Thank you
A: The Probate Court requires all of the assets to be inventoried and properly distributed by the administrator of the estate. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to contact a local probate attorney. Many offer free consultations.
