Wife and father. You may have some vested rights if you can show that you made payments from your sole checking account, but it may not get you far in owning equity. Clarification: Are we speaking about deeds? Land ownership? If wife and father are "on the title" then it is assumed they are on the deed. Then they would be the owners. Neither would need to show they made any payments.
Still the wife.
If the car is titled in her name she will need to sign title to sell.
The father's wife is not responsible for his children. However, the State may attach assets they own jointly.
Yes. They sign a deed conveying their interest in the house to the wife.
The State can place a lien on the house if the father is on the title.
She was not usually deified. The pharaoh Akhnaten (King Tut's father) deified he wife Nerfertiti while she was still living (and declared himself a god also). The pharaoh's wife was not given a special title.
Yes. If the inheritance includes real property she must transfer title to you by a deed after the estate is probated.
My father had a lien on my vehicle which is registered in my name and when it was paid off last Dec, we never thought about the title and he has now passed away and his wife refuses to give me the title or have it transferred. What can I do?
the wife
If he is willing, then why not?
The husband can only give what he owned. His interest in the real estate depends on how he and his wife held title to the real estate and whether he was legally divorced. If he and his wife owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then she became the sole owner when he died. If they owned as tenants in common then she still owns her half and he could only devise his half to you. The estate must be probated in order for title to real estate to pass legally to the heirs. You need to consult with an attorney in your area who specializes in real estate and probate law and who can review the title and determine who owns the property.
Your father's brother is your uncle. His wife is your aunt.
