Best Answer

The car is an asset in the estate. As such it needs to be appraised and the executor needs to determine what to do with the item to meet the needs of the estate. If the vehicle is the only real asset the individual owned, there are same states that have a 'express probate' form that can get the title transferred without a waiting period. If there is money still owed, the executor should contact the lien holder to work out the disposition.

The final results will depend on the will, the state probate laws and the number of assets in the estate. The executor should take care of it with the assistance of a probate attorney.
