Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My other recently died and in her will she leaves me her car. My sister with whom I am not communicating is executor of her estate. The auto has been currently moved to her home. What are the steps she should be taking to assure the car is gotten to me? Or I for that matter? She has done nothing but to inform me that the car was taken there and that the tires are shredded. Isn't it her duty to get the car title put in my name?

If there is no money is your other's estate, she has no obligation to put up her own money to get the title changed. However, you should try to contact her and get a letter of consent from her agreeing to your transfer title to yourself with an "affidavit of transfer without probate" that you fill out at the DMV office yourself.
