I am the executrix of my brothers estate which is currently in probate. There are a few renewals of registration/tags due on a few vehicles by the end of the month.
The county treasurer is telling me those can not be renewed since the owner has passed. She said I need to wait until the vehicle has been turned over to the new owner and the estate is out of probate. Then the heir has 60 days to register.
I'm confused because I thought part of my legal duty as executrix, was to keep everything "as is" while in probate. Example: vehicle, homeowners insurance etc.
