Car on Credit
Comments

The car is a mercedes and mercedes have offered four options. Transfer financial monthly payments , buy car flat out, return car and pay a one off fixed fee or return car which will then be auctioned and balance claimed against estate. I have analysed all four options and non are in my favour. The will in the 2nd paragraph says all debts and liabilities to be cleared and in 4th paragraph says if i may own a car to be given to grandson absolutely.
As you can see the will is open to interpretation we different people perceiving it differently. Unfortunately the executor is perceiving it as he didn't own it emphasing on the "if I may own" . I'm viewing it as my grandad wanted to clear debts first own the car and give it to me.
Nightmare. You well and truly don't know your own blood and family until someone passes away. Very disappointed with my uncle.
Worth seeking legal advice?
Also, who will benefit from your grandfathers estate not having to clear this loan?0 -
The terms and wording of your will need to be checked by a legal expert representing you only (choose wisely you don't want to throw £thousands at a claim with no merit), you might have a valid claim that the car should be paid for out of the estate you might not.
I suspect this question is too involved for a forum like this.0
