[WSBAPT] Stolen Estate Property

[Dalynne Singleton]

I did this in a TEDRA proceeding with a boat title.  I think that would be best way to handle it.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Stolen Estate Property

Decedent passed and his step-son went to DMV and signed the affidavit stating that he was the rightful heir to the vehicle and got title put into his name. Well, we got Decedent's daughter appointed as PR and after mailing a couple of letters, step-son met daughter at police station and turned the car over. However, we now need to get the title changed into the estate's name. We did request the vehicle records via a public records request.Most of the documents are redacted, however, they did not redact the Affidavit in Lieu of title and it clearly shows step-son's signature, dated the same date that the title was transferred into his name and states that he does not have the title because it is lost.

DMV is unwilling to change title.

I spoke with step-son and he says he is not willing to sign a release of interest (in fact, he claimed he is getting is own attorney to try to get the car back.)

Can I just bring an action under the probate proceeding to get an order from the court authorizing title be put in Estate's name, since the probate court has authority over all probate property? Or would we need to institute a separate quiet title action?
