I would think your only recourse would be to take the executor of the estate to court. I am afraid that car still legally belongs to the estate. Of course it would had been a lot easier if you would have done this two years ago when the estate was still open. I know when you got a piece of paper you think the car is yours but I know you guys remember the story of the truck driver I used to work with that bought a 57 Chevy from a guy. He got all the paper work for it so he started working on it. A couple of years and 10 to 15 thousand dollars latter he decided to get it transferred over to his name only to find out it had a lien against it. He went to the loan company to pay off the I think $2,000 loan only to be told they would only deal with the guy who took out the loan. That person was in jail and told the guy I worked
work he didn't give a crap. So it was soon after that the loan company sent a wrecker to haul it away. I think he went to court or at least saw a lawyer about it. He was told the only thing they could do was to order the guy who was in jail to give him the $2000 he paid for it back. The last time he saw the Chevy the manager of the loan company was driving it. I just can't say how important it is if you buy a car make sure you get it your name right away.On the same line if you sale one make sure it is out of your name. Ask my son how a car that he sold for $500 cost him a couple of thousand to get out of the legal problems it caused him.
