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

No, you cannot do this, unless you have a power of attorney for your mother. If you do not, you would need to petition the probate court to become her conservator in order to legally sell her vehicle. If your mother has a power of attorney, going to court would not be necessary.

Can I still receive my share of money from a Will?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Probably not. Power of attorney doesn't do anything after a person dies was there a will? Was there a probate? Or did your mom put everything in joint names with your sister (a common and disastrous plan)? At this point, you first have to find out what your mother had, and what happened to it. If I represented your sister, at the first hint of trouble from you I would respond "laches," which is a principle that if you let too much time go by before asserting your rights, you lose them. Really, after 12 years just finding records to determine what happened is going to be a chore.

How do I attain a copy of my mother's will?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Hard to say. If the Will was ever filed with the court or there was a probate estate, then yes, it would be on file there. If it was probated, you would already have received a copy. If probate is needed, and there is no Will, it would not change the result...the estate would still be equally divided by you and your siblings. So Will or not, unless the ring was given to your sister, you are entitled to your share. Of course, if your sister refuses, then you would need to hire an attorney and go to the court. That might not be worth it, on a number of levels.
