Scared

Really? I didn't lie Toyota told me what to when I notified them my sister passed & I did it.
Thx

YOU HAD NO LEGAL RIGHT TO DO IT. You lied when you implied that you had a right to do anything. The car belongs to the estate. NOT to you. Not to anyone. Not until the estate is probated.

NO. The DMV can't help you. That was for California. You are NOT IN CALIFORNIA. Good grief. Unclean hands. You have no right to do ANYTHING WITH THE CAR. It belongs to the estate.

What estate? She had no will & her son doesnt drive. I called Toyota told them she passed & they advised me what to do.
Thx

THEY CAN NOT LEGALLY ADVISE YOU. Good grief. Her estate is her property. Doesn't matter that her son doesn't drive. Can someone else explain this concept to her because I have tried. This OP doesn't seem to want to comprehend anything.

An attorney in your area should be able to untangle any mess created with ownership of the car. You obviously made a mistake in believing you could take over ownership of your sister’s car without proper transfer of the title - but it appears to be an honest mistake that no one in your family seemed to notice or object to. What seems relatively clear is that Toyota will eventually wind up in possession of the car.

Good luck.

So basically I should've gone to a probate lawyer

Or done nothing. You were under no obligation to do anything.

This isn't so much a matter of what you should have done but what you shouldn't have done. You shouldn't have just taken property that was not yours. With no will the car and any other property should have gone to the son.

No, you didn't miss it. You ignored it. How do I know? Post #4 (https://forum.freeadvice.com/threads/p-o-a.661822/post-3750387)

Oh OK thx I didn't know. Toyota sent paperwork to transfer the car to me. My sister has a son who doesn't drive.

I didn't know to go to a probate lawyer nor did I know that i shouldn't have taken the car so I phoned Toyota
