Hello,
I have a question not sure if you can answer it but I thought I go ahead and ask. My husband just passed.
I am his wife and there are no kids and there is no will. The house and property are in our name so are almost all the bank accounts. We have several running cars. They are all in our name and the title is shown as -or-.
This brings me to question one. Can I sell his truck without needing his signature or a death certificate?
My next question is he also has a motorcycle. It is still in his name. We were in the process of selling one of them and he had actually signed the title as we were gone sell it but the deal fell through in the last minute. I have another person interested but I am not sure if I can legally now sell it even as it has been signed by my husband already?
What are some things that I should do or need to do to make sure I do the right things after his passing legally? Things have been very difficult and I am trying to do the right thing.
I hear the word Probate a lot and I am not sure where this will come in or what I need to look for. I know that he has one small bank account still in his name with a small amount of money on it. I am aware that until I get the death certificate I can not close the account. The overall value (property, money, cars) should not be more than $200'000.00
Thank you for any advice.
