It does not look like you need a lawyer unless you have any trouble with the creditors or if there was equity in the car. The money you received from the life insurance cannot be touched by her creditors.

You are not required to use the life insurance to pay the bills if you are the policy beneficiary. If there is no equity in the car, surrender it to the lienholder. If there is equity, consult an attorney.
