Is a car that belonged to the deceased person's wife part of his estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gerald A Bagazinski (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
It is a trick questions. First, was he3 married to the first wife at the time of her death. If so the car belongs to the decedent. But, you may have to open an estate for her to transfer it to him. Bring paid funeral bills and death certificates to the Secretary of State because a provision under the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code will help you transfer vehicles. When a vehicle owner dies and the estate is not probated, the surviving spouse, or, if no spouse, the next closest kin may transfer the vehicle into their name. This is done by presenting the title, the current registration or license plate number (if there is one), and a copy of the death certificate to a Secretary of State Branch Office. The surviving spouse or next closest kin will complete a Certification From the Heir to a Vehicle form If the vehicle is being transferred to the surviving spouse or an immediate family member, the license plate may remain on the vehicle. If there is no surviving spouse, and there are several closest next-of-kin (e.g., multiple brothers or sisters), all share equal inheritance. Those with no interest in the vehicle may complete acertification statement to this effect. If they wish, the next-of-kin may add a co-owner at time of titling. If the co-owner is not an immediate family relative of the deceased, or is not the spouse of the closest next-of-kin who is inheriting the vehicle, the co-owner is liable for use tax. If the estate is being probated, the Personal Representative appointed by Probate Court assigns the deceased's title. If assigned to the deceased's spouse or a family member of the deceased, that person presents the title and a copy of the personal representative's Letter of Authority document at a Secretary of State Branch Office to title the vehicle in their name. The license plate is inherited by the spouse or next closest kin and remains on the vehicle.

If you are asking a question of interpretation, then you should pay for some legal advice to determine if CCP 1013 applies to the probate code sounds like you are representing yourself the old saw applies, "an ounce of prevention is cheaper than a pound of cure".

Is $900 standard practice for an estate attorney and should we pay it?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Usually there is a written agreement for services between an attorney and a client. You want review and understand the agreement before you sign it. The $900 may be a retainer or it may be a flat fee. You need to review the agreement to know.
