Lawmakers might be more familiar with this than car accident attorneys. One place to start researching the issue might be the Wyoming Department of Motor Vehicles. If they can't assist, maybe they could suggest other regulatory authorities. Good luck

Unless that will is found and it says something different your dad’s children should have inherited half of his estate. Hire a probate attorney right away. The longer you wait the harder it is going to get to straighten this out.

You should setup an LLC in the state where you operate. Then determine if an S-election is appropriate for your LLC.

If you establish in WY you'll have to file a foreign registration in CA.
