Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Do I need to probate?

My aunt passed away last week. She had no children, my mother and I took care of her; she also has a brother. The only property we did not get taken care of before her death was her car. She had told us to try to sell it ( I had her POA). What do we need to do to sell the car, if that is what we choose to do?

Re: Do I need to probate?

First of all, the POA terminates at death. If the car is truly the only asset in the estate, I would recommend calling the car title office in the county of your aunt's residence to obtain a copy of the form needed to transfer title without an estate administration. You may also be able to obtain a copy of such a form on the county's website. Good luck!
