What are my rights if my husband recently passed but we were separated?
He had an RV that he lived in which was on someone else’s property. Do I have a legal right to move it before I go through probate and transfer the title? I was left to pay all cremation and funeral expenses, and will also have to pay the probate filing and attoeney’s fees. The money he had left in the bank, his mother has in her possession but claims not to. We were on very good terms at the end and I was there for him in the hospital. We have a 14 year old daughter and I can’t afford to pay for all this without selling the RV.

The question here was the RV titled in your name also? It would seem if the property owner agrees to allow you to remove, then yes; but if the property owner wants rent, then no, without paying the rent. In either case you can go to DMV and they will have the paper work allowing you to transfer title into your name so you can sell. Is the RV really worth the effort is the question you will need to answer. By the way you can apply for social security benefit on behalf of your daughter; and for yourself maybe.
