Hello,

I was wondering if I could get some help. Recently my lifelong friend passed away leaving me her car in her will. Her niece was supposed to drop it to my house but has so far refused to do so.

I’m not exactly sure what to do. I was informed by the executor of will that it was left to me.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Can you go get the car?

Your best first step is to contact the Executor as it is their responsibility to enforce the will.

Thank you for your replies, I am continuing negotiations in the hope it will be reconciled by the executor as the person who has the car is a member of their family. Failing that, I’ll proceed to obtaining legal advice.
