Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My grandmother passed away a few years ago leaving me her car. The car wasn't in her will, but she wrote me a letter while she was ill telling me of her intentions to give me the car. After she passed away her surviving husband gave me the car and the title. However I never titled or registered the car in my name. When it came time to do so, I had misplaced the title. I have contacted her husband several times, as he is the only one who can acquire the lost title, with no response. He originally would speak to me, and I sent him all the information that he would need to obtain the title, but after several months of attempts it is now clear that he doesn't intend to give me the title. I still have possesion of the vehicle, but no title. Because the car wasn't in her will I am trying to find out if I have any legal right to the car, and if so how I would go about getting the title without her husband's assistance or if I would have to file suit against him for it. I currently have the vehicle, but of course no title. He has made no effort to take the vehicle, but he has also made no effort to get the title for me. Please let me know what my options are. Thank you. Talia Maggi

YOu would need to prove that the H gifted you the car and require a transfer of the title. You might try going to see him with the paperwork, You should have never delayed as you did. Bad idea.
