Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

In the case where a father (who is John Doe Jr) passes owing taxes and the son (John Doe III) assumes his belongings (boats, cars, etc), by renewing tags and selling using the name "John Doe" - is this illegal and if so what offense would you call this? None of these things were "willed" to him.
