OP you need to ge t ahold of the estste first. If you dont have any paper work that shows you have moneys paid into this you are shitt out of luck, they can come and take what ever parts you have and you and LEO are going to have some time talking.

In Oklahoma I think you would do a title 42 to get the ball rolling. You would fill out all the paperwork, claiming the work and storage. Lienholders then either work with you or not. Too many variables to cover here.

I have done this on old car bodies in the past (hot rod project cars), but its my understanding that the laws have changed a bit. Go down to your local tag agency, pay the $1 for the title search, and pick up the title 42 paperwork. Or tell the lienholder to come and get it.

I have never heard of those type of shenanigans, who would ever consider that?

Guys, filing a mechanic lien is fine, IF you are a licencened repair shop and you did do work that the deceased ask for, otherwise it is considered fraud.

Sorry, once I'm gone it appears the proper course will be for you to remove the engine and dispose of the rest of the bike. Good news is there's still time to get an answer via this thread as to how to proceed from there.
