My dad died can I sell his car if he still oews money on it?

Question

sorry he owes money on the car.

Answer 1

The lien would have to be paid first, and whether you'd have the right to sell it or not in the first place - it would depend on whether you were the executor of the estate or not. The money would go to the estate, to be disbursed after funeral expenses, creditors and taxes are paid.

Answer 2

since your dad still owed money, then the lending company must have the title. you would have to pay them before you can obtain the title to sign it over to the new owner. you can do it 2 ways. pay off the balance first, yourself. and wait for the lender to send you the title. or find a seller and have them pay you, and tell them they have to wait for the title. you could take a partial payment to hold the car. it doesn't take long at all to get the title back from the lender. good luck. sorry about your dad!

Answer 3

you,ll need a clear title on it,,or a release from the bank or who he owes money too in order to be able to sell it,and furnish the buyer with a title,,other wise you can sell it,,but the buyer is going to want a clear title for it,,you,ll have to finish paying for it,or get the bank to release it,,or get the buyer to pay it off,and have them give the buyers the title to it,,and you get the rest of whats left from the pay off,,good luck ,hope this help,s.

Answer 4

Whoever he owes is holding the title to the car so until it is paid off you would have no title.

Answer 5

the 1st answer is correct

Answer 6

Answer 7

not until it's paid off.
