Q: Need clarification on obtaining title to vehicle in Georgia after father passed.
Father passed and my brother and I were beneficiaries of his estate. All of his CDs, IRAs and Bank Accounts were included in his will. He had made each of us beneficiary on accounts that we received. He did not include his van and told us to decide between us who would get it. We agreed I would. The title has been lost, what will I need to get a title to the vehicle. My brother was the actual executor, and his will has been probated. Without the van being in the will is it going to be an issue to get a title? I would just like to have any necessary paperwork in hand when I go to the Tag/Title Office. Any information will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

A: If his Will was probated, then it had a Residuary Clause. That van is bequeathed under that clause as part of the residuary estate.. Executor has duty to distribute the residuary estate.
