Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

My sister is in jail for 1st degree murder of her husband. Her trial will be about a year away. Her deceased husband left everything to her in his Will which is being probated in Ga. Their car was titled in her name OR his name and she wanted me to have her vehicle and retitle it in her name OR my name and if she gets out of jail, she will have her vehicle which I will give back to her. Her deceased husband's attorney said I need to purchase that vehicle if I want to title it in hers OR my name. Is that true? I thought because it was in her name OR his name, it was her vehicle to do with it as she wants at this time???? Am I wrong?

Thank you for your time and help.

If the car is paid for and she has the title, all she needs to do is sign the title over to you.
