[WSBAPT] Recovering Proceeds from Sale of Vehicle in Probate

[Mike Winslow]

Sounds like a civil action for conversion. Also possibly criminal prosecution for perjury and theft or embezzlement.

Colleagues-
 
We represent the PR of an estate. One of the probate assets was a tenants-in-common interest in a vehicle. Before the appointment of the PR, the other co-tenant of the vehicle filed an Affidavit of Inheritance stating that no relative would have a prior right to the vehicle (there are intestate heirs), and that he, the co-tenant, listed himself with a relation of "friend" as being the entitled to the vehicle. The Affidavit of Inheritance also lists that provision has been made for the payment of debts of the decedent - not true!
 
Then the other co-tenant sold the vehicle. What steps do you recommend taking for recovering the proceeds from the sale of the vehicle (I think we are only entitled to half)?
 
Thank you in advance for your guidance and wisdom on this.
