Your best option is just to keep the vehicle and pay the loan. You are not personally liable for any of the debt, but the debt must be paid from the estate (or you) before you can distribute assets to yourself.
I dont know what it is I need to do but we have no money for court/lawyer

They require this to make sure the money is put into a blocked account for the child. You can go to probate court and do it on your own.

When should I send a copy of the will?
