Regardless of the legal answer, its likely not worth fighting over. Especially when it seems that the car was in fact being used, and not returned after the brothers death. Not sure what you are looking for "legal grounds" for otherwise. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.
