What if a family member steals the car of the deceased?

If you really mean to tear this family apart have the executor of the estate contact the police dept. and file larceny charges. Theft is theft and stealing from the dead is the worst theft of all... Have the executor of the estate call police and report the vehicle as stolen have said family member arrested for grand theft auto (a felony charge).. Let said family member go through the process of being arrested,jailed,posting bail,and being arrained by the court...Then on the day of said family members criminal trial have the executor ask the court to drop the charges....thus teaching the evil doer a very good lesson... However if said family member is not very well liked then allow the charges to remain and let them be convicted of grand theft....


Can a family member of the deceased evict you from the property you've shared with your wife of 15 years in Arkansas?

If said family member is the executor of the deceased estate and your name does not appear on the deed to the property then yes you may be evicted...If said family member is the sole inheritor of the property via the will of the deceased and there are no special exceptions in the will concerning the living spouse of the deceased then you can be evicted once the property deed is legally transfered.Added: If you are a spouse excluded from the will, you may be able to inherit under a law known as "years support." You should contact an attorney in your state that practices Wills and Estates to inquire about your options.Additional: If you are occupying the property under the terms of a lease or contract, the estate of the deceased MUST honor the provisions of the lease - however - when it expires, the estate/heirs are under no obligation to renew it.If such a lease/contract exists and the estate wishes to evict you from the property prior to its expiration date, the estate/Executor in doing so, must comply with whatever landlord/tenant law may exist in your state.
