Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington
Estate and vehicles
My father in law passed away and had two vehicles that he had loans for. We are trying to sell them but it is proving hard to get what he owed. Can we just give them back or somthing without it costing his estate. And what if probate is over. Can they still try and get money.

Re: Estate and vehicles
Was he married when he died? If the answer is yes that will change how I approach this question.
Also, your comment about probate; is there a probate? Are the cars included as debts of the estate? Is the estate solvent? Has the estate been admitted to probate? Did the PR publish notice to creditors?
If the PR published and the creditors did not file a claim then it is possible that the PR doesn't have a duty towards those creditors.
However, this whole question concerns me. If you have been handling this estate without counsel, now would be a good time to lawyer up.
