Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Well, what is the car worth? Its at least 8 years old and possibly older than that if grandmother owned it for awhile. What is the Kelly Blue Book (or similar NADA Guide or Edmunds') resale value of the car? Has an estate been probated for your mother? What other assets does your mother have? What other siblings are there? Did your mother have a husband?

It may be in your best interest to get the answers to these questions and go see a probate attorney who practices in the county where the estate for your mother is or would be probated. Depending on the answers here, it may be that the car can be assigned to you as part of the family allowance. Or in lieu of you paying your mother's funeral bills. If there are no assets after that, then creditors get nothing. Or, if the car value is small then just buy the car from the estate and use the money to pay higher priority claims (like funeral and medical bills and family allowance). If the money is then used up, creditors still get nothing.
