I am looking through my options on legal actions I should take prior to filing for probate on my father's estate. When he passed away he left no will. There is a truck that is in dispute and I would like to know if it is possible to get a court order preventing the truck from being driven until the estate can be settled?
You do not need a separate court order. Once you are appointed administrator of your father's estate, you will have authority over all your father's property. See a local probate lawyer about filing an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration.
