The Estate would be responsible for any damages caused by the accident. The Estate would have to sue the driver who took the car to get back any monies paid.

It will likely depend on the state in which the administration is pending.

Otherwise, the only action the executor can take is to convey the car to the beneficiaries under the Will.
