Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My sister is the co-owner of a vehicle (she is listed as the 2nd owner) registered in GA. The title was not registered with Joint Interest in Tendency. The other owner was the father of her child but they never married. However, he was married to someone else even though they have been separated for a number of years (never divorced). The other owner passed away without leaving a will. My sister paid for the majority of the vehicle (approx 4 out 5 years). The other owner probably had credit card debt upon his passing away. What should my sister do in order to transfer the vehicle in her name only and not risk losing the car?
