All her important things were taken including her wallet. He swapped his trailer with hers after I refused to sell it to him. My uncle picked it up but had no idea it was not her trailer to begin with. How can I find it or get it back? Can I find out if there is a will? It's killing me inside.

Have you contacted the DMV?

What about the police?

How long ago did he steal it?

Are you certain that the 5th wheel picked up was not your moms?

Because it seems like the family didn't know what she lived in for Uncle to pick up the wrong rig.

If your uncle "picked up" the wrong trailer, then I would assume he knows where this neighbor is. Have you asked uncle where this neighbor is?

How was it that he (the neighbor) approached YOU about purchasing this trailer if it was mom's? Even if this happened after she died, her estate would have to pass through probate before you (or whoever inherited the trailer) would have the authority to sell it.

If it's been stolen, call the police and tell them what happened. It shouldn't be hard for them to track this person down, especially if you still have his trailer.

Sounds like neighbor "traded" them out on site

If your mother's wallet contained a credit card or debit card that the thief has used, the police might be able to track the location.

Call the police and report it stolen. Hopefully you have the vin number and what her plates were. If you don't, if the Van was insured, they have the Vin number. Sales papers have the vin number and if financed, they have the vin number. Trailers in my state are registered just like cars. They depreciate just like cars. When purchased, we pay sales tax, just like cars.

Go to the police to find out how to proceed and to file this theft and your proof of who did it.

What's the value of this trailer? Why haven't you called the police? Is there some sort of registration requirement for it in her home state? Did she have it insured? Can you call the insurance company to tell them it's missing? Here's the problem: you don't seem to be the Executor of her Will, if there was one. If she had anything of value it would now be in the probate process. Maybe at this point you can apply to become the Personal Representative of her estate -- then you'd have some power, other than calling the police and reporting it stolen.
