You cannot will, what you do not own. You were only willed the EQUITY, in the car, if any. Here is what you do. find out what the car is worth, verses what is owed. Look online for like models, for sale. That will give you an idea of value. Compare that number, to amount of payoff. You will have to call the bank, on this. Payoff, and amount of money ewed on the loan, are usually different. The payoff, will usually eliminate a bunch of interest. Anyway, compare the two, and if it is worth more than owed, then you have equity, or cash value there. If it is worth less than owed, you may be better to walk away from it. This is something only you can decide. At least all this will give you the information you need, to make your decision.

You cannot sell a car you have a loan on if the lender has a lien on the vehicle. You will need permission from the lien holder to sell the car. If the lender has no lien on the vehicle then you can sell it if you wish. The title will list any lien holder.
It will be interesting to see if the judge can give the car to someone free and clear even tho there is a lien. The judge probably can not give the car away and ignore the lien. Still, it could depend on the identity of the lien holder. Other than that slim possibility, the lien may still be a factor.
does my car have a lien?
Lender or Beneficiary
The lien is no longer applied to the vehicle when the loan is paid off. You can then get a lien release from the lender. As long as the loan has not been paid off the vehicle still has a lien on it.
Yes, if you left it for repairs in a shop and did not pay for repairs, they can put a mechanics lien on it, also if your car was towed and you did not take it out of storage they can put a storage lien on it. Sometimes even when you finance a car if they accidentally forget to add a lien and you receive the title, they can still add the lien with the contract or agreement they have signed by you.
I paid off my debt for a car eight years ago and TransSouth still has a lien on it how do I get a release of lien on the vehicle?????
In most states a shop can put a mechanic's lien on the vehicle whether you are still paying the note or not. This means that you cannot sell the vehicle until you clear the lien.
