Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
a verbal wish of a grandparent giving a car to a grandchild then a totally absent,neglegent and drug addicted parent with multiple child endangerment charges shows up and is now claiming rights to car after death of grandparent/parent.basicly the turd is taking the car from her own daughter on a technicality for selfish and other obvious reasons. it was a verbal thing i myself heard plus multiple others. the old lady got angry at the idea of her daughter getting the car. she is a crackhead and the current state of the car most definitely reflects that.is there a way to trump what document this lowlife has to claim title.the car is a pontiac,it could be a toy car as far as the grand daughter is concerned,its very sentimental to her because the grand mother was her mother if that makes sense

Unfortunately the daughter is the legal heir to the grandmother. The grandmother should have put the granddaughter on title to the car, or made a will, or set up a trust, or some other legally effective document to make the car pass to the granddaughter. Without that, the daughter/mom is legally entitled to everything, car included, the grandmother owned when she died (unless the daughter had brothers or sisters, in which case they would have to divide things equally).
