My mother recently passed away. She had a friend who financed the car for her because my mom had poor credit. My mom used her car as the down payment and my mom paid all of the car payments. Now, the friend who financed the car is threatening to take the car back. My sister has offered to refinance the car into her name. Right now my sister has possession of the car, but the friend is saying that she needs to take possession until she goes to court (she's going through a divorce right now).
My main question is, do my sister and I have any legal claim to the car since my mom put down the down payment and made all of the monthly payments?
