Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oklahoma

I was purchasing a Dodge 3500 pick up from a friend. We had agreed on a monthly payment which I met every month. This arrangement has continued for 2 1/2 years. In November, he passed away. The truck was over half way paid off when he passed. He had given me the title to transfer which was done a couple months before his passing as well as stating in his will that payments would cease upon his death. Now the executors of his estate are demanding I deliver the truck to be liquidated to pay off his estate expenses. I do not believe I am required to do this since the truck is in my name, I was purchasing it and not simply receiving it as an inheritance. I need to know if I should fight or simply relinquish the property.

No, you are required to do so. If his Will states that the debt is forgiven, then, yes you may so advise the court.
