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.
