Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
No will-transfer of car title?
Hello,
My father-n-law has died without a will. All of his assets were held jointly, including his house and car.
Without a will, how do we either sell or transfer the ownership of his car to one of his grandchildren?
Thanks.

Re: No will-transfer of car title?
If it was owned jointly, you can't. The other joint owner automatically became the sole owner. If the title were only in his name, then it becomes part of the estate and a petition to determine the car as exempt property must be file during probate administration. But even then, only the surviving spouse (or children if no spouse) are entitled to exempt property. Good luck.
