What to do if my father passed with no will and my stepmother agreed to give me 3 trailers but has now changed her mind?
Meanwhile I am waiting for her to find titles and sign over papers needed so I can register. I have stored the trailers for over 4 years and invested time, labor and materials restoring them to roadworthy condition. I have written facts she gave them to me, now she is changing her mind. Can I put a mechanics lien on the trailers for what I have invested and storage?

I am so sorry for your loss and for the ensuing problems. I think that you need to seek legal help here. Someone needs to review the proof that you have - both oral and written - and determine if a contract has been entered into. I am confident that some form of a contract will result here - storage, repair - but for sale, maybe not. So your options will depend on what can be proven. Good luck.
