My mother-in-law passed away a month ago..My sister-in-law is the executor of the estate and is trying to sell her mothers car. We have found a buyer and am now being told that my sister-in-law needs a short certificate before she can sell it..Where do we get this, how much does it cost and does she need it if she has the will stating she is the executor and a death certificate?

Answer:
A short certificate is a document that is certified proof of the appointment of the estate’s personal representative (executor or administrator). It is required to gain access to the assets of the decedent. I suggest calling the clerk of courts at the probate court, as procedures vary by court.
