No. The life estate belongs to her as long as she is alive. If she granted a power of attorney and it is still valid, the attorney in fact could consent to a sale of the real estate or release the life estate.

If the car was rented from NY that is a whole different story. You can return it in NY if you rented from NY. I did not make this question up. I'm just giving you the answer. (I think this is a stupid question anyway.)
Yes. A child's income is taxable and a parent must file a return if it exceeds a certain amount. A parent can include the income on their return or file a separate return.
If the parent never returned, yes, this is abandonment. Unless something happened to the parent preventing a return that is not known yet.
