Ok so my dad passed away and he had a car he used to drive when he was alive, but he didn't finish paying off the car before he passed away, but it was remaining only 3 months of payment... It wasn't that much money left to pay, but the person I'm staying with finished the payment and sometimes she calls it "her car"... It makes me sad but she told me I was gonna pay her back( not now though, don't worry I have the money)... And she's driving it...I don't know what to do... Is it bad that I feel sad about it? Pls help.

Hi there.
You are not living with your mother, but living with a friend instead.
Is your mother alive?
Did your father leave a will?
Because someone just can't take over ownership for something which is not their property.
That is stealing, effectively.
If you feel that this isn't right, you could always see a solicitor to straighten this mess out.
And it does seem to be a bit of a mess at the moment, doesn't it?
If your mother is alive, have you spoken to her about it?
If not, I feel that you should.
It seems that your friend is rather controlling and it doesn't seem right, what she has done.
Did your father pass away suddenly?
Or, had he been ill for a while and knew he was going to die?
If he was ill for a while, perhaps he made some kind of verbal agreement with her or your mother to pass it on to your friend, or else someone who would look after it.
In any case, it needs to be looked into more thoroughly, and find out more details, even if it does come down to talking with your mother to see if a will was written by your father before he died.
In most cases, when one partner in a relationship or marriage dies, if there is no will and they are still together at the time of the death, everything automatically goes to the surviving spouse.
And if your parents are divorced or your mother is already deceased, well then other arrangements need to be made by a solicitor and sorted out by the closest family members.
For instance do you have older brothers and sisters?
What about grandparents or aunties and uncles?
How close a friend is this person you are staying with?
Is she a friend of yours, or a close friend of your family?
Meaning, more the age of your parents?
