The answer depends upon which State your spouse was a legal resident of, and also, wether or not the car was in your spouse's name only. Foir instance, in NJ, if a person dies intestate (without a will), all possessions owned solely by the deceased person must be split 50/50 between the spouse and any children of their marriage. Possessions owned jointly with the spouse go directly to the spouse. Check with your local county offices on your State's law. Good luck.

If your spouse dies without a will and the car was not titled in both names can the surviving spouse or son transfer the title to either of them?

The car becomes part of the estate. The executor of the estate can have the vehicle transferred to the appropriate party as they settle the estate. The estate will also be responsible for eliminating any debt involved, if a balance is owed on the car.


In New York State if a sp0use dies is the reamaing spouse responsible for a car loan the decesed had in their name only?

You are the surviving spouse and as such, you get the car along with the debt associated with the vehicle. You could of course just let the bank repossess the car, which would be a horrible idea. You can't keep the car without making the payments. Your choice, pay for it or let it be repossessed.
