[WSBAPT] Car at someone else's home - how to get it

[Dalynne Singleton]

I have a client (mom) who lives out of state and we just appointed her Administrator of her son's estate.  I am the resident agent.  He committed suicide and we are trying to get his personal belongings and car from the place he was living.  It was a strange arrangement where he worked for this man and was given a room to live in exchange for a salary.  The owner of the home doesn't indicate he owes him any money so not sure why he is being such a jerk.

The man won't give the uncle of the deceased the car keys and the rest of the young man's belongings.
Is the remedy a show cause hearing to the roommate / owner of the home the solution or calling the police?

Thanks.
