Who has the legal rights to a deceased person's car?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Sounds like a pretty open-and-shut case to me. I can't even begin to think of how a suit by your nephew could involve a vehicle that has not been used in 18 years. Even then, if your father has been sued, he needs to consider retaining a lawyer. At a minimum, the attorney could help your father timely file an Answer to the suit, assert any of a potential number of affirmative defenses and likely get the nephew's claims dismissed fairly quickly.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You can always sue anyone, anytime. The question is whether you have a valid claim against them. Just because you are his child does not mean that you are his beneficiary. If your father left a valid Will or trust leaving his assets to another, that is his choice, absent you being under the age of eighteen at the time of his death. This the first question is how old are you? If you are 18 or older then you need to determine if he left a valid Will or a trust. If he left either and you are not the named beneficiary, then you do not have a claim. If not, you may. You should speak to an attorney if you have any questions about your rights.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

No. You will need to petition to the probate court for an order the court will sign for her; however, in the petition you will want to request the court to assess fees and costs against her for an unreasonable refusal to agree to the sale and to charge her share of the sale proceeds for the fees and costs. The title company will want either her signature or a court order clearing your right to sell the property. Lastly, you could as a group , propose to purchase her share, but may have to pay a premium.
