Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona
Right To Sell?
I am trying to buy a collectible automobile that is currently titled in Arizona and is originally titled as belonging to the John E.and Jane E.Doe Family Trust.
On the Title, there is a later agreement that changed the verbage to John E.and/or Jane E.Doe. Mr.Doe passed away in the summer of 2001 and Mrs. Doe is now selling a number of cars previously titled as above.
My question is,does Mrs.Doe have total legal ownership to be able to transfer title and sell the cars?

Re: Right To Sell?
A lawyer would require evidence of Jane Doe's authority to sell property belonging to the Trust, and have her sign in both capacities as a trustee or administrator of the Trust, and individually.
Re: Right To Sell?
If the car is currently titled to John Doe and/or Jane Doe,Jane can sell the car. If you get challenged on the title, have Jane provide a copy of the trust. You may need to know more about the trust and how property was handled under the will/trust of the deceased. Most likely there will not be a problem.
