the money from the sale and the title to my trade-in is now being held in court because of some other legal issues. the dealer has "cashed" the contract, but they have threatened to have me charged with fraud, and take the vehicle back, although i have made 2 payments. i have shown all documentation that the court system is holding the money and title. can they go through what they threatened me with? i have a lawyer already, i just don't wanna waste any more money on this type of stuff, and as soon as the money is released they will get what they are due, i informed them that they would have the money when the property was sold, and they said ok. they have a copy of the contract, and the hud forms from when the property was sold

You need a lawyer. Not a bunch of random strangers on the internet.

Things are getting complicated. The dealer has a car e can't sell, you have a car that you may not be able to afford at the moment. The dealer shouldn't have sold you the car based on the money in probate. But they saw a chance for a sale and decided to go for it.
Yeah, you'd best get a lawyer, and if you can't afford one try legal aid. Good luck.

You're missing something here. Did you make it seem as though you already had the necessary cash or did the dealer talk you into saying that you'd use money that was not yet in hand? If you were honest and he wrote the deal in a weird way, its him. if you lied, its fraud. It would greatly depend on how you represented yourself.
There's definitely no way someone can give you a definitive answer on this one-- a lawyer is needed.
