Who owns he truck with no title? Is there a sales contract, registration papers, or some other documentation concerning the ownership of the truck? First, check with the department of revenue to see who they show as he truck's owner. If that person is your husband then you may need to open a probate estate or obtain letters of refusal from the probate court and then use your authority under those documents to file suit and obtain a declaratory judgment. All of this assumes that you would be the rightful owner of the truck upon your husband's death, which may or may not be the case.
