My car is in my moms name she just passed should i just continue with the payments?

Question

Should I continue with the payments or is there a way i can transfer it in my name

Answer 1

Yes, you need to continue to make the payments, to keep the vehicle from being repossessed.  Contact the lender and ask them how to go about transferring ownership on the loan.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

Answer 2

Yes, continue with the payments.  If your mother had a will and left the car in your name then all you need to do is go to the DMV to get it changed to your name.  (there are fees for this)

If she didn't leave it in your name, then you will have to work this out with who ever she left power of attorney to.

sorry for your loss

Answer 3

You should check the will.

Do you have siblings to split the value of the car?

Answer 4

Sincere Condolences.

Contact the leader.

Answer 5

You need to contact the lender she made payments to. If you are the executor of the estate, they may be able to transfer her account.  You should check to see if she have had coverage that paid off the car in the event of her death. My condolences.

Answer 6

If you aren't on the title as a P.O.D. then the car probably isn't yours, it will go into her estate. Then you will need to sort it out. Talk to the lawyer and find out if you should be making the payments or if her estate will make the payments until the vehicle is distributed to the legal owner. I doubt that you can transfer to your name after her death.

Answer 7

Yes, keep making the payments otherwise you will end up in default. If you are the executor of your mothers will or have power of attorney you should be able to get the vehicle transferred into your name. You should also advise the lienholder of your situation and they will also be to advise you on how to proceed as I am sure this is not the first time a situation such as this has occurred. My condolences on your loss.

Answer 8

Car along with all the properties belonging to your mom will go to estate.

You can talk with the trustee of the estate to tansfer the car to you if you contiue the payments.

They may or maynot agree. It depends on how many siblings are there and it also depends on the lender of the car loan.
