Car Title Transfer, No will or Power of Attn' (Wills & Trusts)

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 17:49:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? PA
My grandmother died a couple months ago and didn't have a will. My father also did not have power of attn' but now he is trying to give her old car to me. Would I have to buy the car from him or would it be considered a gift? Also what would we need to do since there is no will? Would the car be automatically given to him since he is next of kin?
Thanks so much!
~Julie

  • Even without a will your father, or another person, needs to file probate and then you can purchase the car from the estate.
