i bought a car in october of 2006 which was a parts car i restored. we towed it to the title transferring place where i had it transferred into my name. however, my father passed away in late november. my stepmom, who we found out had been having an affair, immediately put us out (Me and my younger brother), and took everything we had and went with her boyfriend. before leaving, obviously we were on a bad note and she was angry she couldn't have the car i bought because she took the other and sold it because she was joint on it, took my title (which she broke open my safe to get) and took it to a notary with my father's death certificate and said here. major problem being that we have the same name (my father and I) . now i went to pick it up as it is mine and i was told i couldn't forcefully with threats to call the police even though i was not even the least bit showing any aggression. even after showing her both birth certificates, ss cards, drivers lic,etc. she refused. what to do?
Answer:
GO TO THE DMV AND FILE FOR A LOST TITLE AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU A CLEAN ONE.
Yeah, you aren't likely gonna get that title, what a freakin' nightmare. Anyway, do you have a registration or copy of one, they have the same info, as the title reads, so, if the title reads, your dad's name, then her name, you need her release of interest, unless, you have been awarded the car, in your dad's will. If the title says, your dad's name, "OR", her name, again, all she has to show is his Death certificate, either original or certified original, in most states, and a new title is issued in her name, w/o your dad's name. If she is the executor of the estate, she gets to decide stuff regarding his estate. You can ask law enforcement, to go to her house with you, so that you can retrieve any personal belongings of your's, but not of your dad's. The notary, has laws and regulations they must follow. If they wavered in identifying the people involved in the document signing, their jlicensing could be at stack. It's a civil matter, looks like time in court.
