I'll make this as short as possible. My moms husband passed away last week ( I was never legally adopted by him, so I have no legal ties whatsoever ) and left no will or anything like that. Two years ago, he signed for the loan for my car, that I make the payments on. His pension is going to my mom, and his life insurance is going to his son. (my half-brother) My moms husband signed the title and sent it to me before his death, which I now have. I'm pretty sure he did not take out a policy on the loan in case of his death. Having said that, where do I go from here? I do not want to lose the car, and I don't have sufficient credit to pull a loan for whats owed. I'm spooked about calling the loan company to report his death, as I do not want the car loan to fall on my brother (we are at ends, and do not talk) nor do I want him to be able to take the car from me. What should be my first move?
