For all you legal eagles out there! I need help with some technical legal information that I can't seem to find an answer to.

The situation as follows: someone was the owner of a vehicle that pertains to this lawsuit, however, he passed away in May 2022. Would his wife be considered an "heir" of the vehicle, strictly speaking? In section H it mentions that "heirs" are excluded from eligibility. However, it does not seem reasonable that she cannot participate in the lawsuit, since they were a married couple at the time of the suit. Technically the vehicle was only under his name while he owned it, but she was for all intents and purposes a co-owner of the vehicle. There were no prenups nor any other barrier separating their financial assets during their marriage. They were completely integrated from a financial standpoint throughout their marriage.
Would really suck if a silly technicality like this excluded her from the suit...
