1. Since your brother died intestate his wife and children have an equal share in all his movable and immovable property.
2. The trucks cannot be sold without the written consent of your brother's widow and his both daughters. If your sister-in-law refuses to sell her share in her deceased husband's movable property then the share of the daughters may be sold with their consent.
3. The trucks can be operated, but the income earned from the trucks has to be remitted to his widow and daughters.
4. The trucks can be transferred in the name of your brother's daughters only if his widow executes a deed of relinquishment in their favour.
5. You are under no obligation of law to pay the tax on the trucks.
