What to do if I have a truck that is in my father’s and my name and he passed away but there was no right of survivorship?

I am so sorry for your loss. Although his intention was honorable, he needed to have written it down in order for it to be considered a bequest. It sounds as if he had a Will that was in writing and properly executed, correct? Then giving you the truck orally would not over ride that. The situation is unfortunate but it is what it is. Good luck.
