Because of my credit problems my mom was willing to obtain financing for a vehicle that I make payments on. This loan is solely in her name. She has since died - we received the death certificate about three weeks ago. She had no will. Probate is coming up and life insurance is being processed. I will likely pay off the car completely with my share of the insurance proceeds when they arrive, however the finance company has been calling stating that if I don't arrange my own financing for the vehicle in the next week they will reposess it.
Can this possibly be right? The payments are not behind and have never been late. I would assume that the car is her property and will be disposed of through the probate process along with everything else. Can they take this vehicle before probate even though I've never missed a payment?
