Family Member Died in Accident on motorcycle.

I am sorry to hear about your loss.

The question you are asking is covered by Probate Code Section 13100. It provides that if the value of the decedent's personal property in this state does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and if 40 days have elapsed since the death of the decedent, the heirs may, without the necessity of probate collect all tangible personal property. If your situation meets these requirments all you need to do is present the person who has the motorcycle with a Declaration in proper form and they must turn over the bike.

You can give me a call to discuss.

Thank you for your question and I look forward to assisting you. Please keep in mind that I can only respond to your post and the information contained in it, as I do not know what you know unless you have put all of the information in your question. Also, there may be future facts that are as yet undetermined in your matter, that can and must leave some areas of information provided by me broad in nature. However, don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needed! That being said...

I am sorry to hear about your loss.

The insurance company should move the vehicle out of storage. But, a phone call to the tow yard explaining you want to release it to the insurance company will work as well. Let the bank know about the collision, but they will deal with the insurance company.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
