Post: Auto Reposession in Louisiana

Posted by Mike Gardette, bigdaddy@mail.com, on 6/22/02
My nephew died a few weeks ago. He was paying notes on a '96 Camary when he died. He was never married and had no children (no decending heirs). He owed appx. 35% of the principle of the loan. He had no assets or will. My question is...in Louisiana if the vehicle had been paid off and had clear title, the car would assend to his parents. Since the car was not paid (no clear title), but payee was of majority age, he is/was solely responsible for the payment of the vehicle...correct? If that is true, and since the title is being held by the finance co., how would assending heirs handle the above movable property? Does his father have any legal right/recourse for recovery of the title? He is in possession of the vehicle. Bank indicated that they will sue for recovery of the vehicle. Thanks for replys in advance...
