Can't say. Too much we don't know, i.e. source of funds,how title to truck was held, nature of any property settlement agreement they may have had, . . . If you fiather didn't have a will, the estate will have to pass through probate under the laws of intestacy. You can petition the court to be appointed personal representative of the estate and then figure these things out with the help of a lawyer.

she gets some of the truck, and will likely have to reimburse you for expenses paid on her husband's behalf.
