Can a repo company charge you for retrieving your personal property and property that belongs to someone else in the state of Kentucky?
Yes. Any property left in the vehicle when it was repossessed is additional property, not part of the repossession. As private property, the repossession company is liable to inventory the porperty and store it so that it may be recovered. State laws vary a bit, but the standard storage limit is thirty days. During this time they may assess a storage fee. You, the property owner must pay this fee to recover your property. Property that is not recovered in the time alloted by law may be discarded as the company sees fit.
Abandoned Property?
Abandoned PropertyAbandoned property is one to which the owner has relinquished all rights including reasonable expectation of privacy. It is property left behind (often by a tenant) intentionally and permanently when it appears that the former owner (or tenant) does not intend to come back, pick it up, or use it.Generally, abandoned property becomes the property of person who finds it and takes possession of it first. Examples of abandoned property are possessions left in a house after the tenant has moved out, or autos left beside a road for a long period of time and or patent rights of an inventor who does not apply for a patent and allows others to use his/herinvention without protest. However, an easement and other land rights are not abandoned property just because of non-use.Abandoned property laws govern the requirements that must be followed to dispose of unclaimed property. Please view your state laws for the requirements in your state. Laws are provided for Self Storage facilities and general abandoned property law.Unclaimed Property LawUnclaimed property is generally defined as a liability a company owes to an individual or entity when a debt or obligation remains outstanding after a specified period of time. An uncashed payroll or dividend check is a common type of unclaimed property. Most unclaimed property becomes abandoned as a result of a change of address (the owner moved), a name change (the owner got married or divorced), or death of the owner (the estate was unaware of the money or the heirs could not be located). Every state has unclaimed property laws which declare money, property, and other assets to be abandoned after a period of three to five years of inactivity.

The answer depends on many factors. It depends on whether you live in a community property state and when your spouse acquired the property. It depends on whether your spouse left a will and if the property was devised in the will. It depends on whether there is a provision in your state law whereby a disinherited spouse can claim a share of the estate by "election" if the property was devised to another person. If there was no will then you can check the laws of intestacy in your state in the link at the related question below.

When surviving parent is declared incompetent and there is no will left by deceased parent does it go to state or to children?
The legal phrase for this situation is dying "intestate," and the laws of that particular state will have to be followed. Whether the surviving spouse is "incompetent" or not, is probably immaterial. If they were still legally married, or this is a 'community property' state, or they owned property and assets as a married couple (known by a variety of legal descriptions in various states) then the surviving spouse would probably inherit before the children did. If LEGALLY declared incompetent the probate court would probably appoint a 'trustee' to administer the surviving spouse's inheritance.
