off.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

decedent. They were parked on the property by relatives or friends of the decedent and apparently abandoned. How does the estate deal with these vehicles? Does the personal rep. need to determine who has title to each vehicle and give the owner notice before
disposing of the vehicle?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
