Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Transferring open auto loan
If the exectutor of Estate writes a written letter to the auto finance company. Can a 3rd party who has been paying and driving the vehicle since the inception of the auto loan be transfer into the loan.
Does the law allow 3rd party to be added to the loan with this letter from the executor of Estate?

Not to my knowledge. Assumption would require an express intent to assume responsibility that comes from the 3rd party.
