mother financed my car

[alex62]

Hope I'm on the correct page, my recently deceased mother took out finance for me to be able to get a car as I had an adverse credit rating, I would like to know what happens now as I have been paying it for 4 years, thanks for any advice, she also did the same with a static caravan I have been paying for 2 years, now my sibling is saying that she is entitled to half the caravan and the car as it will be getting paid out of mums estate, surely that can't be right . Please help.

The sibling wont be entitled to anything. If anything, the estate would pay it. I dont see how the sibling can say they are entitled to it.

She told me that as mum left her estate between us anything being paid out of the estate ie car and caravan, would belong to both of us, as she did it for me and I have been paying them both surely they belong to me.

AFAIK she's wrong. Others will advise better for you though.

Thanks very much for your advice sleep a bit better tonight, cheers.

Signing a finance deal and ownership are different things. You can prove that you were paying for teh car so it would be a shame that your sister decided to try and claim something that has no entitlement. I suspect she has been "advised" by a friend and has gone along with that.

If your mother left a will then it will be very clear what her estate was it is. If no will, then they cant be included in the estate anyway as they are the property of the finance co, stricty speaking.
