Actually, the problem is very much the OP’s. Maybe not their responsibility, but still very much their problem. I’m not sure how the seller’s are breaking the law unless they’re acting fraudently, which selling an untitled object isn’t. Now trying to forge a title or registration or claiming it to be “homemade”, that would be illegal.
If you read my post, it answeres your question.
Again,
the executor of the estate has to get approval from the DMV to sell the vehicle. That's the legal part. The executor is a fiduciary (agent of the court) and failing to act within the legal requirements is more important than anything the OP does. The executor is finanacially and more important,
criminally responsible. Selling the trailer, titled or not, outside the legalities of probate is a criminal offense.
