"Illegal" presumes criminality. If the account was a joint account, it was not illegal. But you need to start a divorce action right away. You can ask the court to have him pay some of the money back. You can also get child support or spousal support. See a local matrimonial attorney right away.

Questions about Estate matters are controlled by the law of the State where the decedent resided at the time of death. Therefore, although you may live in New York, your question is better directed to attorneys practicing in the State of your late sister's residence.
The bank is saying we're short in escrow $400 but also trying to raise our monthly payment by $8.78 saying we can't pay the entire shortage to remain at the same payment we have. We'd rather pay the $500 we're actually short to remain at the same payment but they're saying we cannot do this.
answered on Feb 6, 2023
Generally, yes because the shortage indicates the current monthly payments you are making are not sufficient to meet the escrow obligation.

You are not going to get his name off unless you fully refinance. It is also his car for purposes of the divorce. There is nothing you can do but keep paying. If you pay, you cannot lose the car.

It's probably best not to. An attorney who works in banking could probably give you detailed reasons not to, but anything fake or false like that in terms of credentials, ID, etc. is best to avoid. Good luck
