AboutJared Romey Expertise I live in Puerto Rico so can answer travel related questions, as well as adapting to the local culture. I own a business in Puerto Rico, so can also answer questions related to that and similar business issues. I CANNOT answer detailed legal questions, as I have had almost no experience in this area. This includes being unable to answer questions on inheritance, trusts, probate, etc.
Experience I have lived in Puerto Rico for 7 years, and have traveled the island (as well as surrounding islands) extensively.

Question I'm 17 years old. My father died almost a year ago now. Ever since i could remember he would tell me when he died that his prized car 1973 Camaro would be left to me when he past away and to never sell it and take care of it. Now that he has past away i want to keep the promise i made to him and have the car shipped to me(i live in Mesa, Arizona), but after i talked to his wife she says that i could not have it because its hers. The car is still under my dads name and he didn't leave a will. Isn't there anything i can do to get my dads car? Inheritance right?? something?? Please help...
Answer My guess is that you probably need to consult a lawyer here in Puerto Rico to see if there's anything you can do. There is something called forced heirship in Puerto Rican law, which defines IN PART how your father's property is to be divided. Since this concept is not common in the US, you will need to speak with an expert.
