Can you buy a car who has been left to someone else in a will?

if the owner wants to sell it why not after all i'll be paying for it

...

If you are buying it from the owner. You can buy cars. If somebody leaves something to somebody that they don't own because they sold it, there's no issue there. I leave you the city of New York in my will, it doesn't really matter. If you are trying to buy it from the person who is willed the car while the current owner is not dead, that's a problem because it's not their car.

The will doesn't matter a jot to you. You can buy it from the owner. Whether it's the current owner the person who got the car from the estate or anybody else who actually owns the car. Just being listed as property in a will, makes the will kind of old, it doesn't make the car unable to be sold (assuming its not tied up in the estate).

How do you get a title for a truck that was left behind when your brother passed away?

If you were named in the will, you should be able to get something from the courts allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to transfer title to you.

In most states, you would then simply sign the back of the car title with your name followed by the words executor of the estate of (name of the deceased).

Can you over ride Condo bylaws and rent it out because for two years it sat vacant because you could not sell the Condo now you are renting it even though the bylaws say you cannot rent it out?

You can negotiate with the board and ask for a rental exception. You may be required to prove a 'hardship' so that the exception can be granted.

It's a better idea to work with the association's officers to get what you want instead of boldly stepping into a situation that you know to be 'against the rules'.


Read the governing documents to determine the process for petitioning the board for an exception. In these difficult financial times, some boards have granted exceptions to rental limits, which for the community is preferable to having a bank as a neighbor based on the unit being foreclosed upon.

Do most family members charge the estate for being an executor?

Yes. And, there is no amount of money that makes it worth it; being the familial executor is a huge pain, and better accomplished by a disinterested third party. There is quite a market for this, in fact. Even though executors are usually chosen in the will, and family members, many electees recognize the potential for conflict and long lasting scars that may result, and opt for a third party execution of will.

This is a contrast to tradition, however, in which the estate holder generally accorded the rights of execution of will to the firstborn or other--so called 'blessed,'--individual expressly so that they would get 'the lion's share.'

I am writing a will and would like to have my 16 year old a legal gaurdian for my 12 year old is it possible if an adult is also place as gaurdian?

A legal guardian must be an adult. You can name him with the caveat that he be of legal age and if not, xxx shall be the guardian until such time as he does reach legal age. Consult an attorney in your area for help on this. Personally, I wouldn't recommend burdening a teenager with the responsibility.

What can be done when your an only child and your stepmom receives everything in the will and will leave it to her children?

== == I think this woman is taking full advantage of you and although most of the Estate would usually go to the wife when the husband passes away, I am sure your biological father left provisions for you (some money or some personal things of his) and I would contest the Will! This will put a crimp in her style because by contesting the Will (seek legal counsel) you can tie up the Estate for up to several years. Usually greedy people don't want to wait and they'll settle immediately. Don't sit by and let her get away with this. She's counting on the fact you are too young to know anything about law. Answer The time to tackle this issue is to open up the subject with your father in conversation--not intervention--while he is still well. There really is no reason he has to leave anything to you at all, so it behooves you to realize this. Generally, accepting these things are a matter of understanding, empathy and compassion. His responsibilities are toward providing for the current wife and any of their children, particularly if they are young. You have flown the nest and can provide for yourself. Being realistic about the situation, rather than getting emotional about How It Seems, is going to get you further than anything. Has he rescued you from debt? Provided for college? Helped you with down payments? Given you advice? Then, you have his legacy.
