It was not clear if the mother would be able to use the car in the future.
You obviously were not the one who got use of the car. Did you or the other sibling protest the use of the car? Has this been a bone of contention in the family?

Consider this. Had you stored the car commercially what would it have cost? And what would it be worth at the time of her death had no one used it? Why wasn't it sold? Was it addressed within the four corners of the will?

Look you could go round and round over this. AT BEST we're talking about an $11,000 dispute here. Divided 3 ways that's $3,666.66 per sibling. You want to tear your family apart over principle and fairness? Seems pretty petty to me even if that was the only estate asset.
