1 Answer from Attorneys
I'm assuming that the car is titled in the grandfather's name only. If the Grandfather lived in Texas at the time of his death then Texas probate law will determine how the estate should be distributed. Depending on Texas law, the car may have to go through probate. In Florida, for instance, an automobile used for personal use can be deemed exempt from probate. I strongly recommend consulting a probate attorney in the county where your Grandfather last resided. Be sure to ask about tax consequences as well.
