If you are still legally married then you inherit his car and funeral expenses. ---- Not if they had any involvement with that spouse's passing. BTW, plausible deniability is not a valid defense should the abandoning spouse have "arranged" for someone else to do this deed for them. Such a plea would not likely stand up in court. Even raising the question on line could be construed as motive. There might also be a snag if that spouse has already filed for divorce on grounds of abandonment, typically there are standards of conduct during a divorce such as all possessions remaining at their current locations until the court or mediation determines where they go. Legally in cases of abandonment the person who did the abandoning is presumed to have given up any and all rights to any items left behind. In the case of spousal death, it might have to go before a probate until everything is resolved.

Yes. But get some help for this. A lawyer or knowledgable friend.
If your spouse dies without a will what happens to the car?
The answer depends upon which State your spouse was a legal resident of, and also, wether or not the car was in your spouse's name only. Foir instance, in NJ, if a person dies intestate (without a will), all possessions owned solely by the deceased person must be split 50/50 between the spouse and any children of their marriage. Possessions owned jointly with the spouse go directly to the spouse. Check with your local county offices on your State's law. Good luck.
If a house and car are titled in both names and one spouse dies what does other spouse do to get car and house in her name?
If the real property is titled as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one owner dies, their interest automatically passes to the survivor. All you need to do is to record a death certificate in the land records to show the other joint tenant is deceased. As for the car, you should call the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state to determine what their policy is when a joint owner dies.
If your spouse dies without a will and the car was not titled in both names can the surviving spouse or son transfer the title to either of them?
The car becomes part of the estate. The executor of the estate can have the vehicle transferred to the appropriate party as they settle the estate. The estate will also be responsible for eliminating any debt involved, if a balance is owed on the car.

In New York State if a sp0use dies is the reamaing spouse responsible for a car loan the decesed had in their name only?
You are the surviving spouse and as such, you get the car along with the debt associated with the vehicle. You could of course just let the bank repossess the car, which would be a horrible idea. You can't keep the car without making the payments. Your choice, pay for it or let it be repossessed.
How do you get an abandoned car?
Do you mean how do you buy an abandoned car or how do you find an abandoned car?? You can buy an abandoned car thru a car auction...find the nearest place by googleing for a auction house nearest you or calling some used car lots if there is not a listing. How do you find an abandoned car?? First call the police and file a report. They will give you the name of one or two (if not more) towing companies that picked up the cars and store them. You can call around, find the car and go redeem it. Good luck!
If the primary owner of a car owns the car and dies and is married who owns the car?
It depends on what you mean by "Primary" owner. If you mean that two people signed together to buy a car, if one dies, the other takes possession, period. If it has no liens, cosignors, etc., on it, and the will doesn't specify differently, then it, as well as any other property bought during the marriage in the deceased person's name belongs to the spouse, as they are considered one entity under the law. However, if the title of the car is in a name other than the deceased or their spouse, the car would go to the person whose name is on the title.
In New Jersey is the surviving spouse cars solely in the deceased names?
In New Jersey a car is the property of the person listed on the Certificate of Title. If the car is in the surviving spouse's name then it is not in the deceased spouse's estate. If the car was in the name of the deceased spouse, then it is in the decedent's estate, even if they both considered it to be the surviving spouse's car and was used solely by that spouse. The sole determining factor is whose name is on the Certificate of Title.
