The first weeks
Handle their car loan or lease
If there's an outstanding car loan, contact the lender. Options include paying it off from the estate, transferring to an heir who's assuming the vehicle, or returning the car. For a lease, the estate usually can return the vehicle without penalty.
What you'll need
- The loan or lease account number
- A copy of the death certificate
