Can I sell or drive my mother’s vehicle even if the title is not on my name?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You cannot sell it. You should not drive it unless you are put on the insurance. It sounds like you are a minor(not 18). You will need the assistance of an adult to help get a conservatorship to handle your mother's affairs.

Which Trust to set up?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The labels you refer to are only that, labels, with no real meaning. If you set up an irrevocable trust, and it is funded by life insurance, that's an Irrevocable Trust Funded by Life Insurance. The terms of the trust matter. Please do this as part of a general estate plan, with a good lawyer. Getting something off the internet is going to cost your child more in the long run.

Is it illegal to occupy a house that is in probate?

Answered by attorney Kelvin P. Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Kelvin Green
It is not illegal, however, the house belongs to the estate. It should generate money for the estate. You could live there but the representative may want to sell it and thinking a tenant makes the sale difficult. If you live there you would owe rent but it could be deducted from your share when it is sold.
