<p class="x_MsoNormal">Good afternoon,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have a client who is the PR and sole beneficiary of a probate estate. Decedent owned a vehicle which my client inherited. But the title to the vehicle is lost. It is not clear to me whether she needs to file an Affidavit of Lost Title
or something else. One of my staff called DOL and says they told her specifically to file an Affidavit of Inheritance AND an Affidavit of Lost Title. But this is confusing to me, because the Affidavit of Inheritance specifically says that it is to be used
only when no estate administration was necessary, and that is not the case here.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Does anybody know what I should do here? Please and thank you!
