To make a long story short, My husband and I were purchasing a new suv, and my husbands brother was our co-signer. We decided to refinance our home to pay off the balance of vehicle which was $22,000. We paid it completely off, before we got a chance to take my husbands brother of the title as co-signer, my husband suddenly passed away. At the time of death, the suv was at his fathers house, I asked to have the vehicle back which was the family car and I have 4 kids and really needed it for them. The father in law refused to give me the suv. I need to know if this is legal, I understand my name wasn't on the pink slip, but I was under the impression that since we were married and we live in California, I was intitled to my own car! I have asked the father in law for the sake of his grandchildren, to please return the car, which is locked in his yard! Do I have any legal standing? I really can't afford a lawyer, but we refinanced to pay that car off and I have no use of it!
Thank you
