I am so sorry for your loss. If the car was titled in your Father's name then you are entitled to it. I am a bit confused when you say that probate records indicate he owned things. If there was a probate done then your Father left a Will. Did you read the probate file? Who was appointed executor or administrator of the estate? Can I guess your uncle? If indeed you are the only child and your Father had no spouse when he died then you are the only beneficiary under the KY Intestacy statutes. Find a lawyer that can help you sort this out. You may be able to take action against your Uncle for any wrong doing. Check here at attorneypages.com for help. Good luck.
